Westlake Garden Club

Sally Knurek lives not in Westlake but in Fairview Park. Sally has always had a fabulous shade garden with a variety of unusual and lovely spring-flowering plants. She has interesting plants and flowers in the backyard, front yard and along the sides of her house. Wherever there is a patch of dirt, Sally has found a plant that will be happy there. Best of all, Sally is always happy to share her knowledge and expertise. Her latest endeavor, the pollinator garden along the side of her driveway, has drawn the attention of the Fairview Park Garden Club. Sally is the proud winner of a Showcase Award from that club.

The Garden Club of Ohio (Cleveland District) awarded a 1st place in the Butterfly Category to the Westlake Garden Club as a result of our work with Community Gardens. In addition, the community garden beds received a Certificate of Appreciation at the national level. Many thanks to Susan Baker and Deb Dougherty for spearheading these projects. Our monthly publication, the Garden Scoop, received a 3rd place award in a very competitive category. Kathy Bruening wishes to thank all who contribute by writing articles, sending in information and taking photos. A $45 check was given to the Club as a part of the recognition. Pretty darned special!

All reports are that this meeting was a lot of fun. More in May Newsletter and in Photo Galleries.
