Gulf Hills Garden Club Christmas Tree Lighting in the Memorial Garden
On December 5, 2015, the Gulf Hills Garden
Club held its annual Christmas Tree Lighting in the Memorial Garden.
The weather was perfect, the treats were great
and the attendees totaled more than 100.
Santa paid his first visit to the Memorial Garden with over 30 children
climbing onto his lap for a photo opportunity and to whisper their Christmas
desires to our Club Santa. The group heard carols from the Scared Heart
Elementary School choir and then the lights on our newly planted Louisiana
Sapphire Christmas tree were turned on.
The featured magnificent Reindeer was loaned
to the Club by Pat DeHaan. And we thank
her very much. Many, many Gulf Hills
Garden Club members worked many hours on the lights. Thank you to Mary Ann, Marge, Jeanette,and Danny, also
to
Sam, and Pat, who are not members, that put in many hours of labor as well.

Molly and her elves provided the Holiday table
decorations and many of the treats. Thank you to Fay, Beth, Marge,
Mary Ann for also providing wonderful treats. Non- member elves were Lou and
Ken who helped with the setting up and clean up.
It was
nice to see so many of our neighbors joining in the merriment
of the evening. The lights received an overwhelming round of “oohs and
ahs” of approval from the group.
The Gulf Hills Garden Club wishes everyone a
very Merry Christmas and much happiness in the New Year.

The Gulf Hills Garden Club and the Pine and Ridge Triangle Garden.
A big, huge, Gulf Hills Garden Club thank you to club member
Danny Guice! He was able to transform a small overgrown
weed haven, into a very neat, “xeriscape”
(drought tolerant) garden. Danny did a
lot of planning and research to determine which low water, low, maintenance
plants to use. He also managed to save
some of the plantings he found on site and reincorporate them as legacy plants,
linking the old plantings to the new.
Thank you for a job well done!
If you are in Gulf
Hills and have a moment, go by the Pine road and Ridge road Triangle and take a
look at this recently renewed garden. A showcase
of low maintenance gardening.

The October Meeting of the Gulf Hills Garden Club and a Special Birthday!
The October Gulf Hills Garden Club meeting at the home of club member, Beth M. She and her hosts provided a delicious brunch buffet with Mimosas. A heartfelt thank you to her and her hosts Mollie, Jeanette and Danny. And thank you Mary Ann for a very meaningful devotion.
The home was
beautifully decorated with fresh flowers on each of the many tables. Danny furnished a dozen multi-hued gourmet eggs
from his chickens as a door prize.
We had four
guests: Former members, Carol G. and
Marge D., so very nice to see these ladies again; and Martha C. and Pat
DeHaan.
The program
for the meeting was a presentation of the goals from the Garden Clubs of
Mississippi and the National Garden Club organization.
Pleasures and Challenges from our Garden this
month was a discussion of “What does a garden mean to you?” Members paired to reflect and share gardening
experiences. Michael brought a leaf from
a plant he could not identify and none of us could either
.
The members
of the Gulf Hills Garden Club surprised our president with a Birthday
Cake.
Next meeting
is November 19.
