DISTRICT II DIRECTOR: Joan Boudreau - 2009/2011 Director’s Message: Gardening is in our Nature, as is our desire to protect our environment and natural resources; to further education in horticulture and floral design, and to encourage civic beautification and educational services. We, as gardeners and conservationists, are interested in all things garden related and concur with the American Horticulture Society's motto, "Making America a Nation of Gardeners, a Land of Gardens." How fortunate we are to have our meeting place at beautiful River Farm, the home of The American Horticulture Society. We hope, through our upcoming programs, projects and trips to expand our knowledge and to encourage and share with others our love of the gardening arts.
