Hostesses Pat Adkins and Carl Claytor welcomed Loris Garden Club members to a beautifully fall decorated room, serving delicious refreshments. Pat’s lovely arrangement “Begin Giving Thanks” was fall flowers and plants arranged in a paper mache pumpkin.
Club president Gloria Kinney welcomed the group and encouraged them to attend a workshop on November 18, at 10 a.m. to work on and submit applications for awards on the club’s many civic projects.
Jane Roberts, National Garden Week chairwoman, finalized an application for 2025’s National Garden Week.
At 2 p.m. on November 23, the group gathered to make magnolia wreaths for the Loris Library doors.
Membership chairwoman Dorothy Richardson welcomed Amy DiTore to join the Loris Garden Club.
The guest speaker was William Hardee III, who is an Horry-Georgetown Clemson Extension Tobacco and Area Agronomy Specialist. Mr. Hardee gave a very informative program explaining the soil compositions that are present in different areas of the county.
The Loris Garden Club is going to get soil samples tested on their redesign of the Heniford Memorial Mini-Park/Bi Way Marker located on Highway 9E Business. They will use the services of the Clemson agents to help them choose the right additives to use in the soil and the best plants to use at that location.
The meeting ended with the club benediction.
