Members Show Their Own Gardens

January 10, 2012: President Vira Sisolak (l) welcomed members back from the holidays.

This was the annual meeting when several members discuss their own gardens. Fran Zaniello was enthusiastic about her front garden and back garden at her Capitol Hill townhouse and especially about the crepe myrtle she could not have in Kentucky.

Carol Casperson spoke about her gardening in Anacostia and also showed slides of a visit last summer to Perennial Pleasures Nursery in East Hardwick, Vt.
