2020 was a very full year for the Garden Club. That is to say, full of hope and plans. The hope is still as active as ever but, alas, many of the plans had to be postponed.
Two major plans forestalled were the Garden Tour and the further development of Tyee Drive. Garden Tour #16/2020 promised to be lovely and diverse. Garden Tour #16/202x promises to be lovely and diverse.
Our plans for Tyee Drive are to create a “pollinator corridor.” 2020 was going to see the implementation of that project. Encouraging and supporting the birds and insects that are important to pollination is not only vital to them but also a joy to us since the perennials we plant would be flowering throughout the seasons.
We did manage to have a few work parties preparing the soil and landscape before the shut-downs, so we will be able to hit the road with our wheels spinning come Spring.
Usually, in the course of the year, we have our regular monthly meeting and when the weather is nice, we share our gardens and have our meeting in a garden venue. That was sorely missed this year.
Though 2020 was mostly a digital year for the Garden Club, it was not a digital year for our gardens.
Thankfully we were able to dig in the real (not virtual) dirt and tend our gardens (even if alone) and we still managed to share gardening tips and anecdotes with one another.
