The Landrum Garden Club ended the year of 2012 on a positive note, planting seeds of love, fellowship and giving.

On Nov. 8, 2012, The Landrum Garden Club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Costner to start its final project of the year.  There the group assembled baskets of goodies to take to Rosedale in Campobello, S.C.

On Dec. 13, 2012 the group met for a luncheon at Marilyn’s Historic Melrose Inn, located in Tryon. This, within itself, was a delightful experience. Doheny, the owner of the inn, was a wonderful hostess.  The group had a delicious lunch and a self-guided tour of the inn. During the luncheon garden club members discussed future plans, welcomed new members and paid tribute to the club’s oldest living honorary member Ann Sevier, age 105.

Off to the club’s final destination, Rosedale, members gave out gifts, sang Christmas Carols, shared hugs and listened to stories from the ladies. Several of them shared just how uplifting the club’s visits were to them, and how they look forward to the club coming every year.

The seeds of love, fellowship and giving were planted and members ended their day looking forward to Jan. 1, 2013 when the group would drop-in at Peggie Armstrong’s home to celebrate the New Year.

The Landrum Garden Club’s next meeting will be Jan. 10, 2013 at the home of Bobby Warren.
