Quilt pattern floral gardens discussed
TIPP CITY — On Feb. 4, the Tipp City Garden Club met for the first meeting of the year. Club members were joined by Bradford Garden Club representatives and several guests who have interest in becoming members.
Guest speaker Dave Pinkerton, a Miami County Master Gardener Volunteer, presented his vision to create a quilt pattern floral garden in the spring of 2021. His idea is modeled after the well-known quilt blocks grown in northern Indiana along the Heritage Trail.
Pinkerton spoke about his endeavors in design, possible sites, and securing sponsors in the Troy community. He encouraged club members to also consider designing and planting a quilt floral garden in 2021. His vision extends to the creation of many quilt gardens that will attract tourists to Miami County.
A business meeting followed with a review of the upcoming programs planned for 2020. Club members adjourned to lunch at Bob Evans.
The next meeting will take place at the Tipp City Government Center’s conference room on Tuesday, March 5, beginning at 10 a.m. The guest speaker will be Amanda Bennett, Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator, OSU Extension Office, with a presentation on “Bees.”
