August 2017 Monthly Meeting
Our August meeting of the Gwinnett County Master Gardeners Association welcomed Gail Zorn, flower grower extraordinaire, who shared her story on becoming a farmer – the “Journey to Daybreak Flower Farm.” Gail is passionate about creating beauty from this good earth and told us how her beautiful lavender and cut flower farm in Loganville came to be. As she talked, she put together three different flower arrangements that were given away as door prizes. She gave tips on general flower arranging, color coordination and combining the different types of flowers and greenery. A very informative and wonderful program. Related Images:
July 2017 Monthly Meeting – 2017 Photo Contest
We were most happy to have Eric Bowles, a fine art nature photographer, judge and host our annual member Photo Contest! Ann Landrey, our Photo Contest Chair, put together a wonderful PowerPoint presentation of all the entry pictures. Eric commented and complimented each winning entry while educating those attending to some fine points of taking good pictures. Eric’s work can be seen at www.bowlesimages.com. Many of our gardeners enjoyed taking snapshots of their gardens and landscapes as well as those of birds, wildlife, yard art and bugs and share their wonderful picture. There were twelve different categories – even one for iPhone pictures and first time entries from pictures taken in 2016. Beautiful to see and inspirational too! Enjoy our pictures Related Images:
