SUMMARY:Pest Control in the Home Garden using Organic Methods

SUMMARY:Botanical Collage
DESCRIPTION:This is going to be a fun\, make-it and take-it workshop/meeting. Everyone will be able to create and bring home a unique\, framed botanical collage. \nThe meeting is at Lisa Colburn’s house and she will be the presenter. \nHere’s a recording of the Zoom meeting Lisa gave on Nov. 22nd It discusses the basics of botanical collage – including a Power Point Presentation with lots of ideas. Click on the link. You’ll be asked to enter this code: D6b#C^pB https://us02web.zoom.us/rec/share/A5mM5GeCsWpJY_f003r9sGOqnq2LsjLJf9ltKEiKwSpnew2P3uMnZ-RSF6jNIpIA.UI913un76BoFN2qe \n  \nHere are a few examples:  \nThe first collage features Florida plants:  Spiral ginger\, philodendron\, thatch palm bark\, queen palm seed stalk and the stars are orange peel. \nIt’s in a rough-cut wooden frame that is 11×17. The background was spray painted with a textured black. \n \nThe other collage features plants from Maine: royal fern\, smokebush leaves\, a lunaria pod (money plant) and a branch from Harry Lauder’s walking stick.  \n \nIt’s in a 5 x 7 inch frame – the size we’ll be using for our project. \nThe background is card stock that’s painted with a white and green acrylic. \nIf this was an official flower show\, these are the guidelines we’d follow: \n  \nGeneral Guidelines \no   Must dry or preserve the materials yourself – not from the store \no   List all plant materials \no   Endangered\, artificial\, and invasive plant materials are not permitted. \no   No insect parts allowed Example: Butterfly wings \no   Judged by the Design Scale of Points \nDesign Type \n\nBonded Design\nCollage (Abstract – no scenes)\nAn abstract design created on a background panel with a dominance of components attached in a non-realistic arrangement.\nComponents include plant material and other found objects.\n\niii.            Staged in an upright position. \n  \nLisa will supply some plant material but would like members to bring some of their own pressed or glycerized plant material. Twisted branches or roots add interest. Dried seeds and seed pods are great. \nThe club will supply the 5 x 7 unfinished frames and the glue. We’ll use silicon-based glues that adhere very quickly. Participants should bring scissors\, pruning shears or paper cutters. \nKeep in mind that the glue we’ll be using is strong stuff and can not be easily removed from clothes…. So dress for messy play! \nThis YouTube video discusses Botanical Jewelry…. while we won’t be making jewelry\, how this designer uses plant materials may inspire you. \nhttps://youtu.be/BtLNYAS27LY

SUMMARY:Holiday Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Allamanda Garden Club Holiday Luncheon 2021\n \nMonday\, December 6  \n11:45 a.m. – 3 pm \nHeron Creek Country Club’s new covered outdoor pavilion. \n5301 Heron Creek Blvd.\, North Port \n  \n$25 all-inclusive luncheon \n  \nChoice of: \n\nAtlantic Salmon \nChicken Breast\nVegetarian option\n\nChef’s Choice of starch\, vegetables\, assorted rolls and butter \nDessert\, Coffee\, tea and soda\, Tax and Tip included \n  \n Let the gift swapping begin…with a Deal or Steal Gift Swap. To participate in the fun\, you must bring a wrapped\, unmarked gift to exchange…. something you would want to receive – a nice plant\, beautiful garden pot\, baked goods\, Christmas ornament\, garden tools\, artwork\, or something silly or quirky we can fight over…  Be creative. Suggested $10 to $20 value. \nYou’ll have a few opportunities to win beautiful Vera Bradley bags stuffed with goodies and holiday floral centerpieces at no cost. Pick up your lucky raffle and gift exchange tickets when you arrive. \n Payment of $25 is expected when you sign up at either the October or November meetings.Please pay by check made out to: Allamanda Garden Club.  \nDeadline to sign up is November 22.  \n For more information contact Christy Glenn   941-423-2267   gardenglenn1@gmail.com \nMail check to: \nChristine Glenn \n5112 Pine Shadow Lane \nNorth Port\, FL  34287 \n  \nWhat’s a “Deal or Steal” gift exchange?\nIn a Deal or Steal gift exchange\, each participant brings a wrapped\, unmarked gift and places it in a designated area. Guests are given random numbers when they arrive. \nThe person who received the #1 ticket will pick a gift (that is not their own) from the pile and open it for all to see. \nThe person who has the #2 ticket then chooses a gift and opens it. They must decide whether to keep it or swap it for the first player’s gift. Thereafter\, each person\, in numerical order\, selects a gift and decides whether to keep it or “steal” a gift someone has already chosen. \nSwapping takes place until all the presents have been chosen. Finally\, the person who held the #1 ticket gets to choose from all the gifts or keep what he/she has already received. In the end\, the gift you’re holding is the gift you take home. \n  \nWhy we wrap the gifts: \nBecause all the gifts are wrapped or in gift bags\, the least desirable gifts are not left on the table for last – avoiding hard feelings. Wrapping the gifts also adds an element of surprise! Most of the fun happens as people “steal” gifts from each other! Watch as some gift items get stolen again and again!! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Horticulture Flower Show
DESCRIPTION:Susie Cochran\, our Flower Show Chair\, and her crew have planned a simple horticulture and design show that will let all of you shine!  Don’t be shy!  We want this to be fun!  Everyone has at least one plant that they take particular pride in!  Go for it! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s easy!  For design you can:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n1) Make a Thanksgiving table arrangement meant to be viewed from two sides\, and/or \n\n2) Make a Christmas flower arrangement meant to be viewed from one side only. \n\nThe only limitation is that the arrangements must be composed of plant material\, nothing artificial.  If it comes from a plant\, you can use it!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor horticulture\, you can bring any of the following:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n1) Cuttings from one or more plants in your yard (shrub\, tree\, annual or perennial) that are healthy and attractive. This can be a flower\, leaves or branches (no longer than 30 inches).  Just go out into your yard Thursday afternoon or evening and take cuttings of your favorite plants\, place them in water and hold them overnight in a cool area of your house to acclimate them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2) Container grown/potted plants that you have owned and cared for for two months or more.  This can be any healthy\, attractive potted plant or hanging basket –  foliage\, flowering\, or succulent plants. The only limitation is that it must be small enough to be lifted easily by the show volunteers.  (Less than 20 pounds) Please do not bring big heavy floor plants.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBring your plants to the Pavilion at Dallas White Park between 8:00 and 9:00 Friday morning.  There will be volunteers to help you identify your plant by its botanical name.  Placings and ribbons will be available when you arrive for our 1:00 general membership meeting.\n\n\nRegular meeting begins at 1:00pm.
