November 12 Meeting
October 8 Meeting
Betty Lahiri, today's speaker, grew up in Michigan on a farm. She later moved to Arkansas and lived there with her husband for 40 years. She was a florist, had a gift shop and was an interior designer for 30 years. After her husband became ill they moved to the Houston area.
Today Betty gave a group hands on demonstration and helped members make a basket table arrangement or hanging.
Even though she is retired, it seems she is always busy helping and showing others how to do the things she loves to do. We are fortunate she is a member of our garden club.
` The Woodlands Garden Clubprovides educational programs, sharing of experiences and interests, friendships, attractive opportunities for field trips, and community service. The club is open to all garden lovers in the greater Woodlands area which includes Montgomery County and North Harris County.
The Club meets the second Tuesday of each month from September through May. Unless otherwise noted, Garden Club meetings are held at:
Shenandoah Municipal Complex
29955 I-45 N
Shenandoah, TX 77381
The meeting venue occasionally changes for special programs, so check website postings monthly.
