101st Anniversary April 25
Plant Sale

• Community work
• Plant sales
• Garden tours

We had a booth at Ecofest and held our plant sale there. We did not have as much product as in years gone by but made quite a bit and met many people who do not usually come to our sales. It was good exposure.

We had a very successful Garden Tour.

The sale of 100th Anniversary Yearbook was not a huge success.

Our Society turned 100 and had an extremely successful year. In addition to our regular meetings and downtown beatification, we hosted Sean James at our 100th anniversary celebration. We designed and purchased new banners to adorn our downtown. A wonderful anniversary yearbook detailing our past 100 years was published. We were able to hold a successful garden tour . Our plant sale held at Ecofest gave us great exposure and brought in funds and new members. 43 new members joined this year giving us 107 members surpassing our goal of 100.

We do not have a current youth program leader so we have partnered with the Huntsville Public Library to offer workshops in the summer for children. We held two workshops that used pressed flowers which we supplied by members for free. Any other expenses were covered by the Library. The children created pressed flower books marks and butterflies. The youth Librarian and I meet each year and discuss possible projects.

We have 1 youth member who has helped us with garden projects to accumulate his volunteer hours.

We offer 1 scholarship to a secondary school student who is going on to study horticulture or a related field.
