Dig ‘n’ Design Garden Club is beginning its 51st year in a new location—the El Lago Community Center at City Hall on Tallowood Drive in El Lago. The first meeting of the club year will be on Thursday, September 12th, at 9:30 a.m. The Appreciation and Growing of Begonias is the topic of the day. Our climate is especially ideal for these plants, and varieties are profuse.
In addition to the program, a slide show of the 50th Anniversary celebration at Carothers Coastal Gardens this past May will be presented. Honored at this event were: Sylvia Kinzler (charter member of 50 years) of Timber Cove, Taylor Lake Village; Peggy Beaty (47 years) of Morgan’s Point; Fay Stelly (46 years) of League City; and Shirley Brasseaux (33 years) of El Lago. All four of these women were presented with proclamations from their respective cities congratulating them on their many years of service to the club and the communities and declaring May 9th as “Dig ‘n Design Garden Club Day”.
A number of soon-to-be-future Dig ‘n Design members first began meeting with the Webster Garden Club, which was self-limited to 30 members. El Lago members, in consideration of member limits and driving distance, formed the El Lago area club in 1963. Today members reside in El Lago, Taylor Lake Village, Seabrook, Morgan’s Point, League City, Clear Lake City, and Katy.
The club objective is to encourage interest in all phases of home gardening and to promote better horticultural practices, civic beauty, and conservation of natural resources.
Dig ‘n Design gathers at 9:30 a.m. the 2nd Thursday, September through May, at El Lago Community Center at City Hall, 411 Tallowood Drive, El Lago, Texas. All are welcome!
