The successful collaborative leadership of the Board throughout 2018 has established a solid foundation to build upon in 2019. Using a broad range of skills, Board members have committed to moving our organization into the future with the goal of benefiting the entire community of Tweed. The work of a strong team, including all of the members of our Society, is the key to achieving our vision. We need everyone’s support and understanding. Your presence, your encouragement, your contributions to meetings and to the plant sale, your helping hands in the garden, your ideas and the various little tasks that you do will be greatly appreciated. Every job that is completed, no matter how large or small, makes a difference!
We have an exciting program in store for you in 2019. Inspirational speakers at our monthly meetings will share a wealth of information about trees, perennials, pollinator gardens, seed collecting, canning and so much more. There is something of interest to all! The diversity of activities planned provides opportunities for everyone to participate in ways that are personally gratifying as well as supportive of our community. You can contribute plants to the plant sale on the long week end in May; you can submit entries to the Tweed Fair; you can help to maintain the gardens that add beauty to our wonderful community; you can enjoy trips in the company of friends and fellow gardeners; you can judge scarecrows. --- Or perhaps you would like to assist with a workshop that would engage our young people in the realm of horticulture and encourage them to incorporate gardening into their daily activities.
As we step forward into 2019, let us view this New Year as a vast expanse, an open, barren field offering a fount of possibility. Let us join together, using our positive energy and our skills to build beautiful gardens where flowers and friendship blossom. With our strong team approach, we can make Tweed a richer and more vibrant, welcoming community. Together we can do it!
