Green Thumb Garden Club of Ravensworth Farm

WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU AS A NEW MEMBER!

Our meetings are usually held on the first Wednesday of each month, from September through June, at a member’s house. After a brief business meeting, we enjoy beverages and light refreshments followed by a speaker or proceed out for a garden-related adventure.

Some highlights from past seasons---

Garden tours included Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, Green Spring Gardens, Bon Air Rose Garden, and Burnside Farms.

Master Gardeners from our neighborhood who gave talks included Tatiana Lisle (butterflies and bees), Karen Aftergut (Witch Hazel trees of Green Spring Gardens), and Lisa Kurtz (bulbs).

Nancy Jarvie’s daughter-in-law, Chiara Jarvie, demonstrated how to plant a container garden. Helping out was Gary Loehrs, who used his power drill to make needed holes near the bottom of the container.

Each December, we enjoy our Annual Christmas Tea and small gift exchange and donate to a local charity.

New members are always welcome! For questions or more information, please contact me at (703) 354-2454 or Garden@ravensworthfarm.org.
