November Meeting
Another active year is drawing to a close.
The first order of business will be to elect Horseshoe Courts
club officers for 2017. We’ll introduce the
homeowners for our October, November
and December Yard of the Month. There
will be seasonal gardening tips and a
Plant of the Month. Karen Paloma will
present a program on creating impressive
holiday decorations using everyday items,
found objects and a sprinkle of imagina-
tion. Karen is responsible for many of the
clever decorations sold by the Jr. Assis-
tance League. Arrive early for the half
hour social time to ask a question of our
experienced gardeners or find a plant on
the sharing table. Visitors and new resi-
dents are always welcome.
Field Trip
On Wednesday, Nov. 9, Garden Club mem-
bers, friends and neighbors will board a
(very) early bus to the Ft. Worth Botanical
Gardens where we will tour the Japanese
Garden. With a bit of luck the garden will
be beautifully dressed in its fall colors.
We’ll lunch at the onsite restaurant and
