Xmas Party
NHGC "Message From Our President"
NHGC meetings have been open to the public and held from February through November

We were unable to hold our Fall Meetings in 2020. As of August 2020, the Mayor announced the Macedonia City Center is not renting out the community room.  If that changes, we will discuss if we could gather safely!   When our next meeting is announced we hope to see you at the Macedonia City Center, lower level. Community Room, City Hall.
ADDITIONAL MEETING INFORMATION is ANNOUNCED IN THE LINK BELOW

WINTER GARDEN TIPS

Protecting plants in winter from light frost is fairly straightforward.

Soils should be well watered. Since wet soils are better able to retain heat, adequate moisture will be essential.

Coverings such as frost blankets, or even old bed sheets, are ideal when used overnight to protect plants from dips in temperature.

Always make certain the material does not come into contact with the plant itself, as the weight can cause damage.

Once temperatures rise, remove the cover immediately to allow proper light and air circulation to resume. 

Getting plants ready for winter means reduction of watering and fertilization so that the plant’s natural growth cycle may continue uninterrupted. 

 

 
NHGC Awards and Donations
Nordonia Hills Garden Club is organised and operated exclusively for charitable purposes. 

We annually award a scholarship to a Nordonia Hills high school senior.  As well as, having an annual beautification award to a local business to recognise their landscaping. This year we will have involvement with the Blue Star Memorial installation for the city of Nordonia Hills.  

At our monthly meetings, members donate to The Emergency Assistance Center. It is a food pantry in Northfield, Ohio which serves 12 surrounding communities. They provide food, clothing, personal hygiene items, and seasonal support to our Northeast Ohio neighbors in need on a monthly basis. They are a network partner of the Akron Canton Regional Food Bank. 

The Garden Club was recognized by the Newsleader in the latest article about Longwood Manor. The article mentions the Garden Club purchased plants and had many plants donated to help revitalize the exterior Gardens of Longwood Manor. 
Recently, our club received a first place award from the Garden Club of Ohio for our website. The website award application will now be automatically submitted to the National Garden Club!

Gardening Quotes and Thoughts



"All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I went for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day."
-  Mammas and Pappas, California Dreaming
