Once every three years, the Animas Valley Garden Club hosts the spring meeting for the area’s three garden clubs. This was our year. The day before, we gathered at the grange and set up the tables and chairs. The tables, homemade with folding legs, had been made by Ruth’s grandfather.
The menu was soup, salad, and desserts, and we all cooked the night before. (I made cheesecake and 3 salad dressings.)
That morning we decorated the tables.
Each person got a little coleus plant grown in Jennifer’s greenhouse. Ruth and I wrapped each coleus in waxed paper, and tied raffia around it. There’s a poem about gardening in pink paper, and a lavender agenda. The baskets of flowers are borrowed from Kelly’s store; the tablecloths are borrowed from a grange member who has a full set of tablecloths for all the grange tables.
Miss Roberta particularly enjoyed the desserts. She said that she wasn’t used to not doing it herself, but she certainly thought we did a fine job. She said, I thought the club acquitted itself very well.
Looks like a wonderful luncheon! The decorations are simple and beautiful ~ and the food table looks yummy, too!!
