For more than 70 years, the Pound Ridge Garden Club has been home to generations of horticulture and floral design enthusiasts. In addition to learning together about gardening technique and flower arranging, we collaborate on a wide range of civic projects to preserve and enhance the natural beauty and neighborly spirit of Pound Ridge.

“Small Size, Big Impact Designs

In preparation for our Petite Standard Flower Show, which will be held in September, our June meeting will be a demonstration featuring floral designs suitable for petite arrangements. It is free, open to the public, and refreshments will be served. Even if you have never tried to create smaller arrangements before, the demonstration will provide you with ideas for creating winning designs while using smaller plant material and containers. Our speaker, Ronnie Schoelzel is a former president of the Federated Garden Clubs of CT, a member of the Litchfield Garden Club, and a NGC Master Judge. |
