2019 Oakmont Street Sale:
|
The Garden Club booth at the Oakmont Street Sale was alive with color and texture this year! Our booth was bustling all day, and thanks to the support of our friends, neighbors, and community we sold out of the 132 stunning floral arrangements we made for the event. Each arrangement was lovingly crafted by our members with flowers and greenery from our own gardens. Thank you to all of our members who supported the street sale in a myriad of ways, every member involved gave 110% and made this sale a resounding success!

2018 Novmeber Luncheon
September meeting: new honorary member
|
Author, radio and TV personality, Emmy-award winning producer DOUG OSTER, Pittsburgh's go-to guy for all things gardening, kicked-off our Club year with a program titled "Battling Bambi". He shared information on which bulbs, shrubs and perennials are deer resistant and how to deal with the four legged pests when they visit your garden. This was a very interesting meeting for all who attended. Doug is well known for his Sunday morning radio program and his weekly Thursday morning appearances on Pittsburgh Today Live.
After brunch on the porch of the Oakmont Country Club, President Linda Holden presented Doug with honorary membership in the club. We have been educated and entertained by Doug many times over the years. His knowledge of gardening and his sense of humor have made him one of our favorite speakers. |

GCO Library Arrangements Committee |
The Library Arrangements Committee of the Garden Club has provided arrangements to our library for many, many years. Those who serve on this committee provide weekly arrangements to our local library throughout our club year, running September through June. During December, the Holiday Arrangements Committee takes charge and provides a beautiful array of trees and decorations throughout the month and into early January.
The Library arrangements committee allows our members to show their individual creativity in providing whatever “suits their fancy” to showcase at the main entrance to our library. Usually we follow the seasons and holidays to share our talents; but can also be anything the creator wants. Nothing is ever turned away! Library visitors enjoy what we provide each week and we receive many compliments on what is on display. Stop in sometime to see what our creative volunteers’ supply—it’s a real treat! |
