The Annual Federated Garden Club Awards Luncheon
October 2009
The Milford Garden Club was awarded the coveted Laura Wetmore Conservation Bowl at the annual Awards Luncheon at Aquaturf in Plantsville. The Award is given to the Club chosen out of all the New England Region Clubs for promotion of Conservation and Environmental Awareness.
At our May Market of 2009 the Club had Master Gardeners and Garden Consultants who provided advice, gave talks on horticulture and native plants ,distributed information on "green websites", suggested clever tips for recycling household objects and proudly proclaimed Milford Mayor Jim Richetelli the "Greenest Mayor in Connecticut " for his leaderhip on clean energy initiatives among other things.
The photographs will show the prizes and some of our members who attended the luncheon. It was a wonderful day for us and we are so pleased to have also won a lovely silver tray from the Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut for our work in promoting Conservation and Environmental Awareness.
Our very own Kathrine Neville was the recipient of a well deserved award of recognition for her planning and designing the rooftop children's garden at the Science Museum in Hartford CT. Kathrine was there from start to finish in this herculean project which included selecting sculptor Bob Keating of Bridgewater Ct , the creator of the whimsical centerpiece of the garden . Please try to visit the museum and see the wonderful garden created by Kathrine and the Federated Garden Clubs of Ct.
