Monday, January 25, 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm – Annual Winter Tea, The Virtual Details

by

The Garden Club’s Annual Winter Tea is always our most popular member event and we’re going to hold it this year – virtually. Please join our club presidents Catherine Bordon and Tracey Cannistraro on ZOOM for a chance to say hello to old friends and meet our new members.

Many of us are far away, in different states and towns. We will all come together for a short visit, then break out into small groups for more intimate conversations. After about 20 minutes, we’ll reshuffle so we can chat with other members. This will give us an opportunity to catch up with each other’s lives. 

So pull out your finest tea cups and tea pots. Maybe wear a hat! Make some tea sandwiches and scones but don’t forget the clotted cream. Perhaps, in this time of Covid Cocktails, you’d prefer a glass of Champagne or a mug of hot mulled cider with bourbon … whatever makes it festive and special for you.

by

In this six-session Massachusetts Horticultural Society course beginning February 2 from 7 – 8:30, join Master Gardener Gretel Anspach online to explore the fundamentals of plant structures and their function, reproductive and floral biology, introductory concepts in physiology and metabolism, and overall systematic organization and classification of major plant groups within the plant kingdom. Participants will better understand the world of plants and gain a far deeper appreciation for their wonder.

Gretel Anspach is a Lifetime Master Gardener with the Massachusetts Master Gardener Association, a Trustee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, and a recently-retired systems engineer for Raytheon. Gretel helped to establish and maintain two food production gardens that have provided fresh produce to the Marlboro Food Pantry for the last eight years.
