The Garden Therapy Committee

held 3 sessions this fall!

The club's Garden Therapy group brought many smiles to the residents of Brightview and to members of the North Andover Senior Center by holding flower arranging sessions.​  The themes were for fall, Thanksgiving and the holidays. One or two club members designed the arrangements and shopped for the containers and flowers.  Members of the garden therapy committee arrived early before the session to cut and prepare the flowers and then assist the participants in creating their arrangement.

The Club Creates Beautiful Wreaths to Adorn the Town Buildings!

Many club members attended the Greens Workshop to decorate wreaths for the town buildings. Most of the wreaths are adorned with a combination of natural embellishments such as unusual greens, berries, cones and pods and ornaments and beautiful bows!  The club's creations are truly stunning!  Please take notice of them as you drive around town.  Some members also filled the horse trough at the end of Chestnut St. and Andover St. which deserves a good look.

 

Members also enjoyed a delicious potluck lunch and holiday music while socializing.  

 

The club exceeded it's goal of $1500 for our Christmas Kindness Drive by collecting $1575 in gift cards for the Youth Center's Holiday Gift Drive!  Well done and thank you to all of our members who contributed.

Patriots Memorial Park Fall Cleanup a Big Success!

What a great crowd at Patriots Memorial Park for our fall Cleanup on Saturday 11/2/24!!  We had veterans from VFW Post 2104 in North Andover, Garden Club and NA Improvement Society members, scouts and neighbors, all working together to tackle an enormous pile of bark mulch - in record time.  It was amazing and would not have happened without all those volunteers.  Special thanks to everyone.  The park looks terrific, well cared for and ready for the Veterans Day Parade on November 11th.  Such a special place and a town gem!
