Kaye Vosburgh and Donna Morrissey Exhibit at WAFA 2011

by

Two Garden Club of the Back Bay members, Kaye Vosburgh and Donna Morrissey, exhibited at the Seaport World Trade Center in June as part of the World Association of Flower Arrangers.  Approximately 900 artists from around the world created memorable arrangements in over twenty classes.  Kaye’s arrangement of lilies and driftwood won a coveted ribbon from the international judging panel.  Donna’s was a two sided arrangement, as depicted in two pictures below.  Although the pictures below fail to do the works justice (lighting in the hall was dramatic but difficult to deal with), we know you will enjoy a taste of what our ladies created.

Butterflies are welcome visitors to the gardens at Polly Hill Arboretum in West Tisbury, Martha’s Vineyard. Join Susie Bowman, teacher/naturalist at Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary and avid gardener, to learn how to attract more of these beautiful insects to your garden. She will introduce the basic needs of butterflies and how to plan or modify gardens to meet these needs. Susie will illustrate with images of island butterflies that frequent specific plants at the Felix Neck butterfly garden. The program will conclude with a walk to the Polly Hill homestead border. Butterfly-friendly plant list included!  $20/$10 for PHA members.  For more information, visit www.pollyhillarboretum.org.
