SUMMARY:Horticulture Corner: Grow Your Own Park
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOWDuval Audubon Society\, Northeast Florida Sierra Club\, the Ixia Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society\, and the Garden Club of Jacksonville partner for a special Horticulture Corner program with Doug Tallamy of the Homegrown National Park project\, an effort to create 20 million acres of native plantings in yards and communities across the United States. \nThese four organizations are joining together to encourage people in Northeast Florida to sign up their yards for the Homegrown National Park challenge. They will suggest sets of native plants for different conditions\, such as sunny\, shady\, or dry\, and provide handouts with helpful information. Dr. Tallamy will give a presentation by Zoom which will be followed by an in-person introduction to easy to grow native plants with representatives from Duval Audubon\, Ixia Chapter of FNPS\, and Northeast Florida Sierra Club. \nArrive at 5:30 p.m. to visit tables representing each organization and learn how you can get involved. The program begins at 6 p.m. \nNative Plant Sale\nThere will be a native plant sale at the event to help people get started on native plantings in their own yards. \nAbout Doug Tallamy and the Homegrown National Park project\nDr. Tallamy founded Homegrown National Park along with Michelle Alfandari as a grass-roots call to action to regenerate biodiversity\, catalyzing a collective effort of individual homeowners\, property owners\, land managers\, farmers\, and anyone with some soil to start a new habitat by planting native plants and removing most invasive plants. It is the largest cooperative conservation project ever conceived or attempted.“Our National Parks\, no matter how grand in scale are too small and separated from one another to preserve species to the levels needed\,” Tallamy says. “Thus\, the concept for Homegrown National Park\, a bottom-up call-to-action to restore habitat where we live and work\, and to a lesser extent where we farm and graze\, extending national parks to our yards and communities.” \nThe Homegrown National Park website features an interactive map that shows each person’s contribution to planting native by state\, county\, and zip code. You can add your yard to this map! \nDr. Tallamy is the T. A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. His book “Bringing Nature Home” was awarded the 2008 Silver Medal by the Garden Writers’ Association. “Nature’s Best Hope\,” a New York Times Best Seller\, was released in February 2020\, and his latest book “The Nature of Oaks” was released by Timber press in March 2021. Among his awards are the Garden Club of America Margaret Douglas Medal for Conservation\, the Tom Dodd Jr. Award of Excellence\, the 2018 AHS B.Y. Morrison Communication Award\, and the 2019 Cynthia Westcott Scientific Writing Award. \nIn-person and on Zoom\nThis program will be offered simultaneously in-person at the Garden Club and on Zoom. COVID-19 health and safety precautions will be practiced during the event and will be outlined closer to the event. \nThe program is free and open to the public. \nREGISTER NOW

DESCRIPTION:PURCHASE YOUR TICKETThe practice of color theory isn’t new—it dates all the way back to Aristotle. Color theory is a set of principles used to create harmonious color combinations pleasing to the eye and senses. It is the perfect blend of science and aesthetics—just like flowers themselves! By applying a few color theory basics\, everyday decorating can come alive. \nJoin Alicia Palm and Kari Strate of Daughters Flower Shop to learn how to design a floral centerpiece using a color blocking method. This technique will turn your flower arranging from everyday to extraordinary! They’ll take you step-by-step through the process of creating an arrangement\, then provide the materials to design your own. You’ll leave with a creation you can give as a gift or display at home. \nAlicia and Kari are Jacksonville natives who landed in New York City to pursue careers in design—Alicia in floral and event design and Kari in fashion. While the pair never met in NYC\, they each moved back to Jacksonville and a chance meeting and collaboration on a local wedding encouraged the pair to partner officially. In December 2019\, Alicia and Kari opened Daughters Flower Shop\, a high-end florist in Five Points\, bringing together boutique floral design services\, specialty grab-and-go flowers\, a wide-ranging selection of distinctive houseplants\, and an exquisitely curated selection of home goods in a exciting and modern retail space. \nFun with Flowers is an educational outreach program that is open to the public. Founded by the Garden Club of Jacksonville more than 30 years ago\, Fun With Flowers has served as a model for similar programs offered throughout the United States. Attendees learn the latest professional design techniques\, then create breathtaking floral creations during the hands-on portion of the program. \nThis program will be offered in-person at the Garden Club. Masks are optional for those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 but are recommended to help protect everyone.

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
