FLOWER SHOW 2020
"BIRDS, BEES AND BUTTERFLIES" is the delightful theme for this year's NIGC Flower Show! To add a new dimension to the "Theme" category, you may now work with a partner! The idea is it may make the Flower Show less intimidating to newcomers. This only applies to the "Theme" category. Also, vases will be provided for single bloom entries to unify the display. These may be obtained from Ann Devlin prior the event or the morning of. "Rule Sheets" are available on the NIGC webs
WINTER BEAUTIFICATION
Honorary Member and all around supporter of our Club and Community, Mike Frake of Tri-City Trees , included an unscheduled stop at La Bella Fontana. He made time to prune, reshape and re-stake the new Pepper Trees. Thank you, Mike! Naples School Principal Uribe visited NIGC gardeners and updated them on the phases of the school construction. She also shared her plans for student participation in the March 19 Arbor Day ceremony.
“A VENETIAN GALA” NIA INSTALLATION DINNER!
In the words of NIA President Mike O'Toole: “It was a damn good night on Naples Island!” The Venetian themed format with food stations and live music added to the excitement of the evening. The presentation by Sandy Davidson of the NIA 2020 Service Award to Garden Club member Cathy BlackSmith topped it all off. The Garden Club was very well represented, not only in attendance but in the number of awards that were presented for Holiday Home Awards.
