Calusa Garden Club of Marco Island

      Members, Opi, Bonnie and Linda put these designs together the morning before the event. There were contributions containers from members  Susan contributed buckets of plant materials.  Enjoy the pictures of the members who were able to attend the luncheon.

          These pictures will give a hint of what an amazing show it was to those who missed it.

I only took photos of the blue ribbon winners for design.

There are just a couple of horticulture pictures.

Enjoy!

  This was quite the adventure for seven members of the club.  It was a full day. First stop was to the Big Cypress National Preserve Welcome Center on Tamiami Trail. We were fortunate to have Ranger Lisa as our tour guide. After a brief film we stepped out on the boardwalk to witness alligators, manatee, fish and much native flora. We even saw a gulf fritillary caterpillar. Next stop was Turner River for more wildlife viewing. Our final stop with Ranger Liza was the Monroe station with its half mile boardwalk.

    A late addition but worth the watch.  

     Remember this great event?

   On February 28, 2013 the bus rolled out of Marco and made a quick 2 hour  ride seem like a one hour crossing to Boca Raton, Fl.

There we visited the beautiful Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens as well as the Wakodahatchee Wetlands.
