LA GARDEN CLUB By Lynn Davis Baffled at what happened to a once thriving plant? Attended a garden show or seminar and would like to share? Join the LA Ashton Garden Club on November 9 at 10 am in the Pavilion. After a presentation it's not unusual for members to begin discussions on many plant issues. Last month Sil Wells and Pam Klawinski demonstrated how to create a flower arrangement placed on a frame. The use of double sided velcro made it interchangeable, depending on seasons. In addition members discussed future meetings, including the one in November. Pumpkin and succulent fans should plan on attending for a chance to participate in a prize drawing. Sil Wells will demonstrate how to create a reusable Fall Themed succulent display. It'll be available for the drawing after the meeting. Come and share your expertise, garden problems, solutions or just socialize.
