Rowayton Gardeners Breakfast Food Drive to Benefit Person to Person March 27 and March 28

The Rowayton Gardeners are sponsoring their fourth annual Food Drive to benefit Person to Person March 27 and 28 – last year the group collected over 1100 pounds of food plus almost $3000 in donations to purchase groceries and this year they hope to surpass those numbers with suggested items for breakfast (cereals, granola bars, peanut butter, oranges, apples) as well as gift cards to ShopRite or Stop & Shop. Drop off days at the Rowayton Community Center are Friday, March 27 from 3 to 6 pm and Saturday, March 28 from 9 am to 12 pm during the RCA Easter Egg Hunt.

March Meeting Recap

The Rowayton Gardeners March General Meeting was well attended despite the rainy weather! Members and guests were enthralled with Debra Kaye’s program “The TLC Approach to Gardening: There’s Always a Fix” and story of her life from business executive to one of the country’s top dahlia growers. Debra’s talk with stunning images captured the spirit of renewal and transported us to springtime.

February Meeting Recap

Joy Dibiase’s presentation, “Houseplant Care: the Winter Edition” hit all the right notes on a sunny but cold morning, for the Rowayton Gardeners’ February program. Houseplant guru and Greenhouse Manager at The Gardener’s Center in Darien, Joy shared great tips on caring for our houseplants during the colder months of the year and turned members myriad of questions into learning moments for an eager audience. Seven beautiful and healthy houseplants donated by the Gardeners Center and a floral arrangement curated by member Calista O’Brien, made for coveted door prize drawings. The delicious refreshments provided by our Hospitality Committee were warmly received.
