| Plan to join us on Wednesday, April 15, 2020, for the Federation’s 91st Annual Meeting and Luncheon at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville, CT. Reservations must be received by Friday, April 10, 2020. Click HERE for easy on-line registration and click HERE for mail-in registration.
To add to the enjoyment of the day, our featured speaker, Larry Weaner, is a renowned landscape architect, lecturer and author of the award-winning, “Garden Revolution: How Our Landscapes Can Be a Source of Environmental Change.” Mr. Weaner has been creating native landscapes since 1982, combining expertise in horticulture, environmental science, and the traditions of garden design. His nationally-recognized firm, Larry Weaner Landscape Associates (LWLA) provides landscape design and restoration services for private residences, businesses, and public facilities in over 20 states. For each project, LWLA assesses the site’s ecology to determine a plant palette that provides visually compelling compositions and meets the client’s functional needs. Designs are patterned after naturally occurring plant communities, with species selected for their functions as well as their ornamental qualities, resulting in dynamic, resilient landscapes that thrive with a minimum of care. For more information on Larry Weaner, visit his WEBSITE. Mr. Weaner’s provocative presentation will certainly tie in nicely with our President’s Project Theme, “Out with Invasives – In with Natives.”
The meeting commences at 10:00 a.m. However, do come early, because one of the highlights of the day will be “Ready, Set…Fine Art and Design!” From 9:15 – 10:00 a.m. you can watch blue ribbon FGCCT designers compete in a LIVE floral design challenge based on Fine Art works displayed. You’ll witness brilliance, talent, and exceptional creativity. And, you can vote for your favorites and “People’s Choice!” The completed designs will be included in the Drawings.
Be sure to purchase drawing tickets when you arrive. You may win one of the amazing designs, lovely gifts from our vendors, or one of the beautiful table centerpieces.
