Happy Mother’s Day to all CGC Members and Friends.Some of us have gotten together to share with you a few early Spring arrangements from our gardens or walks in our community.Our days are long sometimes and we are all praying for safer times in order to gather and share in family celebrations.
Enjoy the designs of colour and nature’s abundance.
Have a great weekend.
Truly beautiful all contributors. Hope springs eternal.
It is that time of year to separate perennials,rejuvenate your Dalias,separate some house plants,and start your transplants.
A great time of year.

Out with 2020 and in with 2021.Happy New Year to all of our gardeners and friends.So many of us are using that extra time we have on our hands lately ,spending time in our bubble,cooking and growing our own. Brenda and Greg are busy growing greens and sprouts.A very healthy product and a quick return on their efforts.
Homemade sauerkraut has become a winter staple in our home offen shared with friends far and wide. A great pro biotic and keeps well over the winter months.
If you have gardening tips,preserving recipes,seeds or plants you want us to share with others let us know.
Stay healthy and safe but connected.
So nice to see that our garden club members continue to carry on the traditions of making their own wreaths this time of year for family and friends.Brenda Hiltz was very busy making and decorating her greenery in the comfort and safety of her own home.
The greenery has been hung and the lights are on and tested.What a great day to decorate the Chester Bandstand.Decked out in our masks and socializing in an appropriate way complete with hot cider.
Thank you again to the Chester Garden Club elves.
