Thursday Garden Club Presents "The Green side of the Big Apple"

On Thursday, January 9th, the Thursday Garden Club
will host Maureen Bovet who will present a photo slide show which explores the
wonderful public parks of New York City. 
Born and raised in New York City, Maureen’ passion for gardening began
there.  She offers a unique view of the
green spaces available for enjoyment by natives and visitors alike.  The history and horticulture of these parks
are illustrated by a beautiful slide show presentation. 

Maureen will be our guide to the traditional and modern
places where New Yorkers enjoy the great outdoors.  Included are Wave Hill, the garden at The
Cloisters; Olmsted-designed Central Park; the new High Line Park; the News York
Botanical Garden; and Battery Park at the tip of Manhattan looking out at the
Statue of Liberty.

The meeting begins at 9:30 at the Goodnow Library.  All are welcome. The Thursday Garden Club meets the second Thursday of each month from
September to May.  Call Christine at
