Now that your flowers are blooming, what do you do with them? If you’d like to learn how to arrange them into something unique rather than plunking them into a vase with water, then attending the Pound Ridge Garden Club meeting at the Hiram Halle Memorial Library in Pound Ridge is a must.

On June 9, 2009 at 10:45 (seems like an odd start time to me) Michael George is the guest speaker for the Pound Ridge Garden club, and he will be demonstrating his floral arranging techniques. He owns two florist shops, one in Pound Ridge, the other in Manhattan and he is willing to share some of his trade secrets. Michael George has also written a book, Simply Elegant Flowers, that gives step by step instructions on his approach and unique style.

The Pound Ridge Garden Club was founded in 1941 and they have monthly educational meetings March through December. They also participate in the community with beautification and conservation. If you would like to join the club, or attend some of the meetings which are open to the public, email susetka@aol.com.
