Penny Pines Project:

The Garden Club of DeLand joins with the National Garden Club and the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs by collecting money to help with the reforestation/forest education program. Just your pennies will help reforestation in Florida’s most damaged National and State Forests. For just $68, your District, Club and Circle can help to purchase and plant trees in Osceola National and John Bethea State Forest which have had over 11,000 acres destroyed by the Okefenokee fires in 2010 and 2011. The US Forest Service is trying to reforest 250 to 500 acres per year to replace trees destroyed in these fires.

Ways and Means

A Ways and Means Table will be set up before and after our general meetings. Who doesn't like shopping? How can you help? Lisa Schnetzer- Chair
