gram's Way: Christian Stew
ardship and the Tithe". He has

Garden Club to sponsor first show
By Merlyn Robinson
Heppner Garden Club mem
bers will hold their first public
flower show and tea Sept.
21-22 at the St. Patrick's Senior
Center in Heppner. This show,
entitled "T h irty Bloomin'
Years," celebrates this club's
30th birthday.
Nationwide, garden clubs
have been formed to promote
gardening interests, educate in
areas of horticulture and con
servation, and to assist in crea
tive expression with the use of
plant materials.
The show denotes 30 years of
accomplishments, according to
charter member, Jane Rawlins,
who is show chairman. The
Heppner Garden Club was first
organized in September of 1966
by the Wallace Wolffs, the Bill
’Rawlins, Ed Gontys and Jack
and Rita Sumner. Others soon
joined. To date, there have
been 99 members. Current
membership is 25.
Accomplishments include
the beautification of Heppner,
especially Main Street, where
flowers and trees have been
planted and tended. Two eye
catching niches are filled with
planters next to the Post Office
and Murray's Drug. Flowering
planters also enhance the de
cor at the Morrow County
Fairgrounds. The club was in
strumental in landscaping a
slope at the upper end of Gale
Street, known as Gontys' Cor
ner. Likewise, memorial trees
have been planted to grace
parks.
Over the years, the club has
supervised the county fair floral
departm ent, decorated fair
booths and floats, and provid
ed Main Street decorations dur
ing St. Patrick's celebrations.
Club members annually pro
vided table decorations for ma
jor events, such as the Memo
rial day dinner, Town and
Country, and membership
meetings of Columbia Basin
Electric Co-op and the Morrow
County Grain Growers. Flow
ers have been used to grace
tables at the Senior Center, as
well as for weddings, anniver
saries and other celebrations.
During gardening week, flow
ers are placed in the library, the
banks and business houses.
New teachers are also given
bouquets and welcome baskets
of vegetables from club mem
bers' gardens.
A gardening shelf was initia
ted at the library as a resource,
and education tours have been
staged, both locally and in
Portland and eastern Washing
ton. This year, the club spon
sored a Blue Star Memorial
Marker as a tribute to armed
forces members. This marker is
installed at the mini-park at the
lower edge of Heppner, with a
capsule inside that contains the
names of those who gave their
lives during military service.
The Christmas season has
been highlighted by wreath-
niaking workshops sponsored
by the club. Since 1969, these
arrangem ents grace many
doorways. People also have the
opportunity to make their own
arrangements from the variety
of greens and materials furnish
ed. Proceeds from this work
shop and other fund raisers are
used to fund a $500 scholarship
offered to a graduating senior
planning to major in any phase
of plant study. The club also
gives $100 donations annually
to several non-profit organiza
tions.
G arden bounty is now
shared at the plant exchange
each year. In addition, there
have been workshops on mak
ing wreaths, dried arrange
ments in baskets and a six ses
sion course on flower arrange
ments. It's easy to see how the
green thumbs of garden club
members have enhanced the
community and brought beau
ty into the lives of many.
