Southern Maine Garden Club met for a special workshop taught by Mary Ann Kane, from South Berwick on Dec. 3.

Mary Stewart-Dore, SMGC President, and some club members did a lot of prep work by cutting down in advance all kinds of greenery, holly, pinecones on her nearby land for the club members to use.

There was balsam, arborvitae, spruce, cedar, Scotch pine, as well as holly, winterberries, magnolia leaves and eucalyptus pods. Different members also brought in ribbon, candles, birds and other decorative ornaments to add to their masterpieces. At the end, everyone had a beautiful centerpiece to grace their holiday tables and impress their family and friends.

SMGC meets throughout the year at the Springvale Library on the third Wednesday of every month beginning at 6:45 PM (unless otherwise noted). The public is invited to attend to sample our meetings to see if you would like to join us. The next scheduled meeting will be the Club's Christmas party at a private home; but we will meet on the 3rd Wednesday of the month of January on the 21st and the presentation will be on preserving our summer and fall harvests.

The speaker will be Sydney Sirois from Sirois Family Farm in Lebanon. It will take place at the Springvale Library at 443 Main Street, Springvale, ME; at 6:30 PM and all are invited.
