The Metro District Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, April 11 at 10:00 AM. at Elm Bank in the Hunnewell Carriage House. Elm Bank is located at 900 Washington Street, (Route 16), Wellesley, Massachusetts. Our featured speaker, Thelma Shoneman, a nationally accredited Master Flower Show Judge, will be presenting a program, Fabulous Gardens that Inspired Floral Designs. Thelma recently visited six fabulous gardens in Oregon, Nebraska, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Maine. Thelma will speak about each garden and the unique attraction that inspired the “floral souvenir”! Each arrangement that she creates will include a different leaf manipulation, which she will demonstrate. These arrangements will be raffled at the end of the program.
The luncheon will be catered by Baker’s Best of Newton and the charge for the luncheon is $25 per person. Checks should be made out to GCFM. For each attendee please list their name, email address, and their choice of lunch sandwich: chicken salad, roasted vegetable or turkey. Tell us if an attendee has special dietary restrictions. Guests are welcome. You may mail a check to Babs Moss, 43 Fairfax Road, Needham, MA 02492. Image below is of Thelma’s floral interpretation at the Worcester Art Museum’s Flora in Winter:
