Just to tell you a little bit about us; the Garden Club of Harrington Park holds General Meetings the first Thursday of every month (except when otherwise noted) September through June in the Community Church, 1 Spring Street, Harrington Park. The meetings begin at 7:30 P.M. and include a lecture by a guest speaker on various gardening topics. Each meeting we have a floral contest, whereby members interpret a given theme (see below). We have a Field Trip at the end of our Club year, along with a luncheon. Our meetings are open to everyone who loves a garden and gardening.

Gerri Gibney will conduct “Marvelous Greens." She is a life-long passionate gardener who loves everything garden. She translated her love of gardening into creating the Garden Club of Harrington Park of which she serves as president.
She has lectured on various garden topics and led workshops for organizations and Garden Clubs in the area, and annually for the Garden Club of Harrington Park’s December meetings, creating beautiful unique arrangements and decorations.
She is president of the Harrington Park Historical Society, Director of the Advisory Board of the Arts Council of Harrington Park, still dabbles in antiques, for many years wrote a garden column “In the Garden,” for three local newspapers, and serves in her church, St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Closter.
Come join the Garden Club of Harrington Park’s annual Make-It & Take-It "Marvelous Greens" Workshop to be conducted by Gerri Gibney, President of the GCHP, on Thursday, December 4th, at 7:30 P.M. in the Community Church, 1 Spring Street, Harrington Park, New Jersey.
Gerri will discuss the various greens you can use right from your garden as well as several design themes you might use for your own creation. One ever-popular style is the "Colonial Williamsburg” theme, a particular favorite of Gerri’s. Abundant with fruit, vegetables, foliage, herbs and dried flowers, the charm of Williamsburg wreaths, swags, and centerpieces has delighted generations of Americans and Gerri will discuss how you can translate this style to your arrangement.
The Garden Club will furnish the basic supplies: plastic containers for centerpieces, fresh greens, and floral foam. If you have a favorite bowl or container you'd prefer to use, bring it along. If you wish to use fruits in your arrangement, bring them also, plus any personal adornments, do-dads, favorite ribbon, or extra greens from your garden you would like to use or share. You will also need your pruners and gardening gloves. Please note: if you plan to make a wreath, bring three coat hangers.
All are welcome to join this fun Make-it & Take-It. There is no fee, however, if you would like to contribute a donation, we would gladly accept it.
Pre-registration is required by November 24th to insure that there will be plenty of materials for everyone. To reserve your spot or for further information, call Gerri at 201-768-2615, email themerchantmouse@aol.com or visit www.gardenclubofharringtonpark.com and click on the "Contact Us" button.
