Thank you, GCOY volunteers: Ann Libby, Barbara Clancy, Barbara Collins, Carol Ann Morris, Cookie Barry, Eileen West, Elaine Frongillo, Gretchen Hyde, Judy Majusky, Kiki Becker, Margaret Rice, Mary Ehbrecht, Pat Holcomb, Ruth Driscoll and and Ruth Piscitelli.
For the holidays each year we decorate post offices, libraries and Town buildings. This is Mary's and Gary's creation at the West Yarmouth Post Office. November 2020.

At our Forest Rd garden we recently planted a dwarf red maple and two Kousa dogwoods.
These replace three trees lost during the 2019 tornado. Jan, Gary, Ann and Ed teamed up to get it done.
Special thanks to Ann for donating the trees!

These Saguaro cacti were started from seed 30 years ago by one of our club members. Care is easy: they are immersed in water overnight 3 times a year. They are kept indoors to avoid getting too much water. In their natural habitat they flower at age 40 and grow an arm at age 75. An unusual houseplant! Click to enlarge. |
