Adults 18-34 accounted for 29 percent of all gardeners, the survey found.

Linglestown Garden Club turns 75 - PennLive.com

While that’s down a bit from the peak size of nearly 100, it’s surprisingly strong for a small town in an era when so many garden clubs are steadily shrinking or disbanding altogether.“We’re an active group,” says Deanne Smith, a past president of the club. “I think our success is because our business meetings are brief, we do a lot of garden crafts, and we’re a welcoming club. We try to integrate new members and make them feel welcome.”That’s been the challenge for garden clubs in the 21st century – bringing in new members.Some of it is because women are working more, some of it is because of increased competition for our time, but some of it is that younger generations just aren’t into joining anything.“People today do other things,” says Smith.A typical Linglestown Garden Club meeting starts the second Wednesday of the month at 10 a.m. with a short business meeting, followed by some sort of hands-on activity or garden craft, and then a program.The program might be a workshop, a demonstration, or a speaker. Meetings end with a luncheon.The group meets monthly from August through May at the Linglestown Fire Co., 5901 Linglestown Road. Besides the monthly meetings, the club holds an annual judged flower show each September, decorates a Christmas tree for the annual Festival of Trees at Fort Hunter, runs a garden trip or two each year, and holds an annual pot-pie sale.The club’s main civic project – an important tenet of garden clubs nationwide – is planting the flagpole gardens in the roundabout at Linglestown and Mountain roads.The club also donates to the Linglestown Fire Co., collects supplies for the Lebanon VA Hospital, and is one of five area garden clubs that comprise the umbrella group called the Harrisburg Area Civic Garden Center... https://www.pennlive.com/gardening/2019/05/linglestown-garden-club-turns-75.html

She is an archaeologist for an environmental company and plans to marry Matthew De Freese in Hawaii on Dec. 16. The Palmers' son, Allen, 25, completed his bachelor's degree at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. In April, he wed his wife, Serenah. The couple lives in San Antonio, where he serves in the Air Force as a commissioned officer.Personal interestsPalmer prefers to live in the moment, and loves sharing stories.

How Much Does a Wedding Cost on Average?

Geography matters, too. Getting married in New Mexico only costs, on average, $17,000 according to The Knot. But if you get married in New York City (Manhattan), expect to pay around $76,944. Your head-count matters regardless of budget. The cost of a larger wedding, with 100 people or more, is significantly more than that of an intimate wedding. According to the website CostofWedding.com, 50% of couples keep their wedding costs below $15,000 by opting for an intimate wedding. Yet invite 100 or more guests for a larger wedding, and you're looking at costs totaling twice as much (or more, if you're getting hitched in a big city like San Francisco or New York City). Traditional Wedding Cost Splits Wedding traditions, at least from a financial point of view, haven't changed much over the years. Exhibit "A" is having the bride's family pay the most for the wedding. According to The Knot, the bride's family pays 45% of all wedding costs. Right behind the bride's mom and dad are the actual newlyweds, who contribute 41% of wedding costs. The groom's family pitches in, too, paying 13% of total wedding costs. While traditions remain strong, figuring out who pays for a wedding can be somewhat complicated, given that so many people are getting married (and remarried) later in life. Historically, here's a list of who pays for what in a traditional wedding. It's an important piece of knowledge, considering that you'll need to set up a wedding budget beforehand, and you'll want to know who's paying for individual wedding costs. What the Bride's family traditionally pays for: The reception, complete with drinks, food, music and a wedding cake The wedding ceremony, including flowers and any special decorations The bride's wedding gown The photographer and videographer Limousine or special transportation to the wedding and reception What the Groom's family traditionally pays for: The wedding rehearsal dinner Wedding gifts for the bride and groom What the Bride traditionally pays for: The wedding ring for the groom Any wedding gift for the groom The bride's hairstyling and make-up Wedding gifts for her bridesmaids What the Groom traditionally pays for: The bride and groom's marriage license The bride's engagement ring The honeymoon Any wedding gift for his groomsme... https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/education/how-much-does-wedding-cost-14693474

3rd day of Eddy County Fair features flowers

Eddy County Fair Community Center, where children designed floral arrangements to be judged the next day by a panel of nationally-accredited horticulture judges from around New Mexico.
