Congratulations
to Pine Island Garden Club member Nancy Temple. Her jewel
of a yard in Cherry Estates was recognized by Florida Yards and
Neighborhoods (FYN) as an outstanding example of the use of the nine
principles of Florida Friendly Gardening. She led a team of
Florida Master Gardeners on a tour and demonstrated her mastery of the
concepts she learned at the introductory
FYN class.
Her enthusiasm has motivated several neighbors to have their yards
recognized as well.
If you are interested in the program, call Tom Becker at the Extension
Office at 533-7515.

A reminder to Club members or anyone on Pine Island, that when you renew your subscription to Florida Gardening Magazine or order a new subscription, make sure you put PIGC on the form. The Club will get $6 for every subscription and last year it was over $200. It must have PIGC in order for us to get the rebate.
Another thought is when you want to give a wonderful gift to someone that will last for a year, a subscription to the Magazine is perfect. It is a win, win situation. You can give a great gift to a fellow gardener and also earns $6 for the Garden Club.
In case anyone has sent in their subscription without letting them know that it is from Pine Island Garden Club, just give me a call and I will take care of it.
Thanks, Margie VanderKruik 283-4104
