November 2021
Along The Path November is here. We know that by the calendar, not by the weather necessarily. Well, we did it….another Bulb & Plant Mart is in the books. This was such a special time, to all be together again, in our familiar space, doing what we do best! Jan Bres and Fiona Guinn deserve all the praise that can be heaped on them; chairing BPM is not a job for sissies, that is for sure. Bulb Mart isn’t Bulb Mart without pimento cheese and deviled eggs ~ thanks Laurie Allen and Elizabeth Copeland for the bounty in the hospitality room. Thank you, also, to everyone who volunteered your time to make this a success. Not just those of us working our required (and then some) hours but also our Af liate Members who come out to volunteer, year after year. The value of your institutional knowledge, experience, and skill cannot be overstated; you are very much appreciated. Speaking of institutional knowledge, thanks to Nancy Davis Keely, Graeme Hicks, Carol Price, and Judy Lee for their repeat performances on the front end of Bulb Mart – managing our inventory and getting it where it needs to go. Thanks mom…Gay Estes created all these cute little illustrations, one for each of our venues, that are popping up in The Garden Path this year. Our November General Meeting will be our rst one of the GCH year with a speaker. Please plan on attending and if you would like for Nola to sign a copy of her book, please bring one with you to that meeting. Her bio and venue details are in this issue of The Garden Path. We’ve got a full GCH calendar for November with something for everyone, I hope. Maybe you will try something that you usually wouldn’t. The very worst that will happen is that you get to spend time with fellow GCH’ers. And of course, this month is also Thanksgiving. I hope that you and your families and friends enjoy seeing one another and can take some time to remember the many blessings that we all enjoy. I count my GCH family as one of mine. See y’all at HMNS on the 10th, and yes(!) we will have food and drinks set up for the November meeting.
