Help make beautiful bouquets of fresh flowers
Come out and join the members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club (RCGC) on Friday, May 6, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Rappahannock County Park Pavilion, 7 Park Ln. in Washington, as they create beautiful bouquets of fresh owers from their gardens. These will be delivered to 50 of our local neighbors (who have been isolated for the past two years) to bring them cheer in May and on Mothers Day weekend.
Please bring some owers and greens from your garden (or purchase them); small or medium sized vases, jars or containers from your stash, thri shop, or recycling center; bring clippers and garden cloves.
RCGC is partnering on this project with Rapp at Home's popular "Rapp at the Door" project whose volunteers will deliver the bouquets to older folks in our community and chat for a few minutes, if possible. Rapp at Home volunteers will deliver the bouquets at noon.
The organization is always looking for new members to join the Rapp County Garden Club in its environmental, scholarship, charitable, and social projects. I hope that you will join it for this event and more!
