Exchange has been very active and the Roadside Committee has 
rescued two giant white oak trees, which are to have tablets 
placed on them, setting forth that they are under the protection 
of this Garden Club. 
In May we made a pilgrimage to Mt. Vernon to study the 
grounds and gardens, and nothing can be more worthwhile for 
modern gardeners, especially after reading that admirable book 
of Mr. Wilstach, "Washington's Home." 
The most important event of the year came in June, when 
we had the pleasure of receiving the Virginia Federation of Gar- 
den Clubs for a day's tour of our gardens, after their annual 
meeting as guests of the Warrenton Garden Club. 
We have enjoyed some charming lectures, from Miss Averill 
in costume, on the Art of Japanese Flower Arrangement, Mr. 
Wister on Roses and Dr. Paul Bartsch of the Smithsonian 
Institute, with the assistance of Mrs. Minnegerode Andrews of 
Washington, on Native Wild Flowers and Ferns. 
And though we have not done any striking things, the feeling 
is unanimous that 1921 has been a happy and profitable year. 
Hetty Harrison, President. 
THE GREENWICH GARDEN CLUB 
October 1920 October 1921 
In addition to the regular meetings of the Club, held month- 
ly, from April to November, inclusive, there have been three 
field days devoted to study of special planting and to wild flowers. 
A committee, appointed by the President, exhibited a basket of 
flowers, in the class open to members of the Garden Club of 
America, in the International Flower Show, on March 16th, and 
were awarded the first prize in the class. On June 15th, the Club 
contributed eighty exhibits to the combined flower shows of 
Westchester and Fairfield Counties. Members were awarded 
eight first and five second prizes. On September 23d the Club 
made its annual show, a Dahlia Show, and offered prizes in six 
classes. A special club prize was awarded to the grower of the 
best seedling bloom. The members of the club were especially 
requested to bring to every meeting anything of special interest 
which they might have, a flower, seed-pod, diseased spray, any- 
thing which might be discussed. 
The Club has continued its care of a hardy border on the 
Hospital grounds, and added to this, a picking garden of annuals, 
for use in the Hospital. This fall, members are in charge of 
planting with shrubs and hardy plants the grounds of the local 
Mrs. L. V. Lockwood, President.
