Devine Garden Club finishes a busy year

The Devine Garden Club had a busy year; for example, setting up the Nativity scene during Christmas and the beautiful new crosses during Easter. Thank you to David Dubose for making them. This year, a new cement landscape border was added to keep the mulch from overflowing. A new Sago Palm was also planted. Thank you to GroMore Gardens located in Devine for donating it. The Garden Club has a 4 Corner Committee that is responsible for the upkeep and notifying the membership when maintenance is needed. A huge Thank You to Joe Valdez and Margaret Powers for taking charge of its beautification, especially with all the hard work involved in the well-maintained 4 corners. The last meeting for the fiscal year was May 22, 2025. Our speaker was Taryn Titsworth with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service Medina County. After the meeting, the club held a beautiful baby shower for one of the members, the theme being A Little Wildflower Is On The Way, very appropriate for a garden club!
During the months of June, July and August, the Executive Committee will work on the upcoming events, meetings and field trips for the new year, which starts in September. Also, during these months, they hold workshops to learn new crafts and gardening techniques to prepare for the November Cactus Festival. The Devine Garden Club is the oldest garden club in Medina County.
