Happy New Year from the McDonough Garden Club. The speaker for our January program will be David Funderburk. David's program will be "Gardening with Native Wildflowers".  There are many native wildflowers to the Southeast that are unknown to a lot of gardeners and David will give us some great ideas to add to our garden.  David has an extensive background in gardening and presents nature-type programs to various groups, including the Georgia Perimeter College Native Plant Garden.  David has quite a list of accomplishments during his professional career including being on the initial faculty at the Fernbank Science Center, where he taught and became an administrator. He also has a Masters Degree in Science Education at the University of Georgia and served the Dekalb County School System for 36 years.  Since 2001, David has volunteered with Hounduras Outreach, which sponsors mission/medical/education trips.  David has many more accomplishments on his resume and he will share that with us in what should be an exciting program. Hope to see everyone there.

 

Each January brings a new slate of officers to the McDonough Garden and this year our club will be led by President Joel Talcott. Thank you to Joel and the rest of our club members who agree to serve our garden club and make it one of the best.  You can see the list under the Officers link.

 

The garden club also wants to recognize Lynn Taylor and Patsy Cash for being the recipients of the "Golden Glove Award", which goes to the individual(s) who exemplify dedication and a willingness to make the club great through their efforts. These ladies organized the great speakers we have each month, which is no small task.  Lynn will be going on her 3rd term as Program Chairmen and continues to find great speakers for our club, including this January's speaker.  Congratulations for a job well done.  We really appreciate your efforts.
