SUMMARY:Combined Circles: Blue and Gold Star Markers
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOWJoin Garden Club of Jacksonville and Wildflower Circle member Sam Runyon for a presentation about Blue Star and Gold Star Marker Memorials. \nThe Blue Star Program honors all men and women that serve in the United States Armed Services. This program began with the planting of 8\,000 dogwood trees by the New Jersey Council of Garden Clubs in 1944 as a living memorial to veterans of World War II. In 1945\, the National Council of State Garden Clubs (now National Garden Clubs) adopted this program and began a Blue Star Highway system that covers thousands of miles across the United States\, Alaska\, and Hawaii. Blue Star Memorial Highway Markers were placed along the way. The Blue Star was adopted because it had become an icon in World War II and was seen on flags and banners in homes for sons and daughters away at war as well as in churches and businesses. \nAmerica’s Gold Star Families is a nonprofit organization created to provide support to those who have lost a loved one in service to our country through the United States Armed Forces. Their mission is to offer honor\, hope\, and healing through remembering fallen heroes by coming together. The name Gold Star came from the custom of families of service members hanging a banner called a service flag in the window of their homes. The service flag had a star for each family member in the United States Armed Forces. Blue Stars represented living service members while a Gold Star represented those who had lost their lives. NGC clubs work with Gold Star Families to honor our fallen heroes with Gold Star Markers. \nThe Garden Club of Jacksonville is currently working on refurbishing an existing Blue Star Memorial on Roosevelt Boulevard near Park Street. \nCombined Circles is an occasional program that allows members of garden circles to meet at the Garden Club of Jacksonville for fellowship and camaraderie. \nThis program will be offered in-person at the Garden Club and simultaneously on Zoom. Masks are required for those attending the event in-person to help protect the speaker. \nFree for Garden Club members | $5 for nonmembers \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Flower Show Series: Designing the Perfect Table
DESCRIPTION:Join floral designer Laura Haley as she demonstrates eye-popping table settings as examples of what can be entered in flower shows. Haley is the Governance Chair of the Garden Club of Jacksonville’s Board of Trustees\, a member of the Late Bloomers Garden Club\, and a 2019 National Garden Club of America Medalist for outstanding achievement in the field of floral design education. \nFlower shows have been around for hundreds of years and are popular forms of entertainment and education for exhibitors and visitors.

A flower show’s rules and guidelines are presented in a schedule with the various subject divisions consisting of classes or categories of competition. \nIn the floral design division of a flower show\, the class titles become the source of inspiration and interpretation.. The class description may also specify a particular design type\, such table design. During this program\, Haley will demonstrate the difference between functional and exhibition table classes that one might see at a flower show. \nRegister today for this Zoom program at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday\, February 9.

SUMMARY:Horticulture Corner: Vertical Gardening
DESCRIPTION:Learn how vertical gardening is the most sustainable way to grow your own produce in the convenience of your own home. \nJoAnne Krestul began growing vertically six years ago\, and providing her family with good nutrition with the ease of aeroponic gardening has truly become her passion.

This type of gardening system grows plants with 90 percent less water\, 90 percent less space\, and only uses water and nutrients rather than soil. Krestul will share how easy the vertical garden system is to assemble\, how it works\, and the many foods you can enjoy grown conveniently and sustainably on your own patio\, deck\, or inside your home. \nThis program will be offered in-person at the Garden Club and simultaneously on Zoom.

DESCRIPTION:Do you want to attract butterflies and other forms of life to your garden? #GardenClubJax joins Bill Berthet\, the 2019 winner of the St. Johns Riverkeeper’s Best River-friendly Wildlife Habitat Yard award\, for a tour of the incredible environment he has created to attract living creatures.

SUMMARY:A Different Kind of Landscaping
DESCRIPTION:People approach landscaping in many different ways depending on their circumstances. In the case of Shawana Brooks\, development director at Jacksonville Arts & Music School\, and visual artist Roosevelt Watson III\, they came up with an ingenious way to dress up their yard and communicate with neighbors and the public-at-large. As renters\, they wanted something flexible that also spoke to their artistic and creative sensibilities. Also\, their house is situated one block from a Superfund site where hazardous waste contaminated the area\, making growing their own food risky for their family’s health. \nTogether\, they created the 6 Ft. Away Gallery\, a pop-up public art space created by Brooks in response to the pandemic and the lack of opportunities for African-American artists. The gallery features Watson’s “Waymaker” series honoring the legacy of local and national contributions of lesser-known African-Americans and their allies. \nRegister today for the program at 6 p.m. Tuesday\, June 30.
