given annually by the District 5 State of Maryland Garden Club to honor a
Catoctin Banner newspaper Federated Garden Club member for activities completed within the current
year with youth.
The Silver Fancy Garden Club’s history dates back to 1954 when it began
in Emmitsburg. Club members promote an interest in gardening, flower
arranging, and conservation. Other activities that members plan are tree and
flower planting for civic improvement. Members are concerned about litter
control and the Highway Beautification Act. They have planted wild flowers
along roadways, and put up bluebird nesting boxes. Club meetings are held the
third Thursday of each month at 12:30 p.m. at the Emmitsburg or Taneytown
Library. New members are welcome. Interested individuals can call Betty Cree
at 410-346-7663 for new member information.
This spring, club members Janet Hatter, Cheryl Rippeon, and Linda
Mullineaux, instructed a group of thirteen elementary-aged children in the art
of spring flower arranging. Each child created a beautiful Easter arrangement
that they were able to take home.
The next Silver Fancy Garden event to be held at the Emmitsburg Branch
Library will take place on Saturday, August 8, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. and will
feature dahlia arrangements. Children, six to fourteen years of age, are invited
to register at www.fcpl.org or call 301-600-6329. All materials are provided.
