NASSAU BAY GARDEN CLUB
It was another great meeting for the Garden Club on March 9th at the Courtyard by Marriott. Speakers were Mayor Bob Warters and City Manager Jason Reynolds, who discussed the present status of the City, past accomplishments, and what is planned for the future. It was a lively question and answer session! The Club's next meeting is April 13th at the Courtyard by Marriott at 9:30 am. They hope to present a program from Julie Brown, Director of the Galveston Island Nature Tourism Council [she was unable to attend the March meeting and the Club thanks the City Administrators who filled in for her on short notice]. The Garden Club voted in a new slate of Officers for the year 2021-2022. New officers include: President – Becky Kadel, 1st VP Membership – Angela Braun, 2nd VP Programs – Betty Armstrong, 3rd VP Finance – Royce Walker, Secretary – Valerie Moses, Treasurer – Gun Frame, and Historian – Joyce Mayor. Winter Storm Uri devastated most of the City’s gardens as well as many personal yards and gardens. Club members hope to cut away the dead foliage and replace them with other colorful, longer-lasting, native plants that will attract pollinators [bees, butterflies, bats, and birds] to get Nassau Bay looking beautiful again. The Purple Martins and Hummingbirds have returned and need our help to replace some of their natural food that was destroyed, so put the Hummer feeders out and plenty of water for the Martins who will have to find mosquitoes, flies, wasps, and dragonflies on their own. Wishing everyone a peaceful Easter season.
