A Message from the Director

As I have aged, so has my desire to learn, share and give back. Nothing brings me more joy than learning from others, walking through a friend's garden, going on a garden tour, talking plants with anyone who will listen, sharing plants, receiving plants from other gardeners, and, of course, going to any garden center that I pass by. I like to call them my eye candy stores!

My goal, as Director, is to unite, grow and strengthen the 31 clubs on Long Island and put a face to our organization. I hope to strengthen our mutual goal of furthering our education along with educating the public on just how important it is to open our eyes and make this Earth a healthy one, one shovel at a time.

I read that, "To plant a garden is to dream of tomorrow".

Elizabeth Walsh, Second District Director
