The President's Message

 

Dear Community Members,

Canton Garden Center is a true jewel of our community! For the past 62 years, the Center has celebrated success due to the combined efforts of dedicated ladies willing to share their time and unique talents to advance the mission of the Center.

My theme for 2009 is "A Time to Learn……..A Time to Grow." The programs for this year are exciting!! One of our first events is a Spring Program on May 29 at the Quarry. You won't want to miss this fun-filled Polynesian-themed event. Once summer arrives the activities at the Center will "blossom." Our very popular "Pergola Parties" provide fun and educational experiences for young children. For those who want to take an excursion, plan to join us on June 23 as we board a comfortable motor coach and venture to Lake Chautauqua. Our summer would not be complete without our traditional "Tour of Gardens" and "Patron Party." This will be a chance to casually stroll through beautiful gardens - and gather gardening ideas along the way. And speaking of gardens, please consider nominating a garden for our Community Beautification Contest. The gardens will be judged during the week of July 20; contact the Center for nomination forms.
To join the spirit of the Stark County Bicentennial festivities, our Flower Show on August 14 - 16 has a "Stark County" theme. You will be dazzled by the creativity of talented floral designers. Add our "Fall Luncheon and Program" on October 26 to your calendar. To end our year of exciting events, we will once again host Holly Pine Lane on November 19 - 22. For 18 years, the member garden clubs have decorated Christmas trees for community members to enjoy. In addition to the trees, there will be demonstrations, displays, refreshments, music, Santa, and more! It's truly our "gift" to the community!

Canton Garden Center ladies are dedicated to our community and they show their commitment with various outreach projects. Flower arrangements for Meals on Wheels are made each month and five times a year the ladies provide "garden therapy" sessions with patients at Heartland Behavioral Health Care. Two other outreach projects include FACES and Junior Gardeners.

In addition, Garden Center ladies continually show their commitment to the Center. When visiting the Center, look around and you're likely to see our gardening enthusiasts planting and beautifying the gardens. And while you're there, visit the Arrangers' Cupboard on the second floor where you may purchase unique gift and garden items!

It is definitely an honor and pleasure to serve as President of The Canton Garden Center. I am looking forward to a wonderful year filled with exciting programs, meaningful projects, beautiful gardens, new learning experiences, and meeting community members who visit the gardens and participate in our projects and events.
See you at the Center………….

In Friendship,

Jeanne Freitag
