Fall Flower Show looks to grow garden clubs' membership - Las Vegas Review-Journal

Las Vegas Chrysanthemum Society; the Cactus and Succulent Society of Southern Nevada; the Growers Study Guild; the Las Vegas Flower Arrangers Guild; the Henderson-based Sunset Garden Club; and the Boulder City Garden Club.According to the Nevada Garden Clubs newsletter, Linnea Miller Domz, who turned 102 in May, was a member of the Rose Garden Club, a group launched in Las Vegas in 1945 by Adeline Bartlett, when she discovered a National Gardener magazine on vacation. Domz was intrigued to learn there could be more to gardening than just the Rose Garden Club. She and her friend Hobby St. Dennis headed to a flower show school in Tucson, Ariz., and came back determined to become federated with the national organization. In 1963, clubs in Reno, Fallon, Ely, Caliente, Pioche and Las Vegas joined National Garden Clubs Inc., and Domz served as the Nevada Garden Clubs' first president.Clubs continue to meet and add new members despite challenges."When the city renovated Lorenzi Park, they had us shut out for over two years, and we are trying to get the public back," said Las Vegas Iris Society president Aleta MacFarlane."Boy, did that affect us big time," Baltz said.Even though her group won't have flowers in bloom at the fall show, MacFarlane said they plan to sell plants. Members stay active throughout the fall and winter. In fact, the dormant season is in some ways just as much fun. That's when it's safe to dig up and separate the rhizomes and share or swap plants.During the Las Vegas Iris Society's October meeting, members Michael and Christine Meagher brought in a tangle of mystery iris plants taken from an overgrown California garden, ready to share.Michael Meagher showed them how to separate and trim the plants to prepare them for planting, spring bloom, and eventually, identification.The club is big on identification and catalogs the varieties in each member's garden.When spring heats up, and the iris bloom, members get the payoff for the fall planting."April is our busy, busy month," said member Darlene Waite. "That's when we do our yard tours and our judging and our flower show."Information on all the groups is available at nevadagardenclubs.org.— Contact View contributing reporter Ginger Meurer at gmeurer@viewnews.com.

Steve Sisolak and President Joe Biden do their level best to bring the pandemic to a close and at the same time make wise decisions that alleviate the social and medical issues stemming from the pandemic. But in the end,  as every mom and dad out there knows, the best defense for our children rests not Carson City or in Washington, D.C., but in our own living rooms. Watch your kids like a hawk. Give ‘em a hug. And let’s get our schools open now.ONE MORE THING— I’m trying to organize a hide and seek tournament, but good players are really hard to find.— Dad, are we pyromaniacs? Yes, we arson.— Never buy flowers from a monk. Only you can prevent florist friars.— For my Rolling Stones fans, I found this rare photo of band member Keith Richards holding Betty White. I’m sorry about that florist friars joke. I’ll pick up my knitting and let myself out. Thanks for reading. Be safe, be kind and mask-up. And, if I may be so bold, subscribe to this Battle Born Media newspaper.
