Our own Kathleen Hawryluk was the Chair of the National Garden Club Major Flower Show in St. Augustine on April 22 to 24. Sponsored by the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc., there were 96 Designs, 246 Horticulture entries as well as Education exhibits, Youth Exhibits, Photography and Botanical Arts entries.
Kathleen reported that the Show was “well-attended”. “I felt blessed to be surrounded by talented, charming people,” she said. Several of those people were Naples Garden Club members.
Sudie Minamyer was in charge of the completion of the Comment Cards, and in charge of the Popular Vote.
Kathleen Hawryluk won the Popular Vote Award for her “Coral Reef” Grouped Mass Design entry. Naples Garden Club congratulates Kathleen for her accomplishments.
Mary Raymond entered a Design in the Botanical Arts Section “Adorn the Door”.
Sondra Quinn was in charge of the Petite Challenge Class. Designers were each given the same material with which to create a 12” Petite Design. Not all materials had to be used. They had one hour to complete their design.
