2024 Summer Field Trips
Continuing the wonderful tradition started by Diane Harrell, the Program Committee is pleased to present a schedule for summer field trips for Garden Club members. These day trips include visits to various area attractions and a meal (optional). The outings are always tons of fun and a great way to get to know fellow club members in a smaller gathering. Guests are always welcome too!
