Barn Nursery Container Challenge



Two WGC teams entered the Fall Container Challenge at the Barn Nursery Friday August 31.  The teams had to create their own designs and bring their own pots and props.  The Barn provided a beautiful array of annuals and perennials the teams could choose from to use in their container.  The various teams then had 20 minutes to plant the container and come up with a name for their creation.

  
FIRST PLACE FOR $100
After the first round of judging both WGC teams were tied for First Place with three perfect 10's!  The judges then retreated into an office for a private consultation and then awarded First Place and a $100 gift certificate to the team of Becky and Lydia.  Anne, Sondra and Marita won Second Place and a $50 gift certificate.  Thanks Brenda for coming out to cheer on the teams!   

RUNNER-UP FOR $50

September Garden of the Month

The Woodstock Garden Club chose the garden of "Bear" and Ruth Dycus on N. Madison Street as the September Garden of the Month.  The couple has lived there for 58 years and designed all the landscaping around the house.  Besides watering, weeding and mowing "Bear" also takes care of their vegetable plot.  Produce they don't consume or share they preserve.  This year they will harvest over 200 lbs. of potatoes.
