A Year in the Home and Garden

The Suffield Garden Club will hold a monthly meeting on Monday, May 7, at 11:45 a.m. at the Second Baptist Church, Fellowship Hall.  Coffee, tea, a light lunch, and a short business meeting are followed by a guest speaker at 1 p.m.

This month we’ll hear from Julie Harrison, a horticultural expert with years of experience in landscape design. Julie’s talents with plants and design don’t stop at the garden because she has a passion for interior decorating as well.
