Newsletter
The Windsor Farms Garden Club newsletter is usually emailed to each member in September, November, January, and March or more frequently if needed. A final newsletter for the year is emailed after the Annual Meeting and Luncheon in May. This informative publication contains meeting reminders and descriptions of programs and projects, highlights of board and general meeting agendas, horticultural notes, and current information about upcoming local gardening events of interest to members. Members who would like an item published in the newsletter should submit this information to the Corresponding Secretary no later than the last day of the preceding month before publication.
Exhibits
Each member is encouraged to bring exhibits to meetings designated with an * on pages 2 and 3 of the Yearbook. A Horticulture exhibit is defined as any plant material grown by the exhibitor and in her possession for at least three months. An Artistic exhibit is defined as an arrangement of fresh flowers and plant material, any or all of which may be purchased. Exhibiting is an excellent way to learn, observe and receive constructive comments from the judges and fellow members on your arrangements.
Annual Exhibit Awards
At the May meeting, a first, second and third prize is given in each division. In addition, the Judy Witcher Trophy and the Edith Goodwin Trophy are awarded to the individuals with the most entries in the Artistic Division and who demonstrate excellence in the Horticulture Division, respectively. These are floating trophies.
