What's Happening in November at the GWC
Our guest speaker for November is lifetime GWC member Tony Avent. Blunt, funny, charismatic and hewing to no cultural sensibility except his own, Tony cannot be counted on to make dreamy observations about his life’s work, or tell you that gardening provides a soulful connection to nature. “To have a garden like this is insane,” Tony drawls as he speaks of his internationally famous Plant Delights Nursery. “We should be in the nuthouse.” Join other gardening nuts at the GWC November meeting on Tuesday the 18th when we’ll hear a master speaker and gardener tell us about “Native Trillium in Your Garden.” This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a remarkable man and gardener discuss one of the great loves of his life. Don’t miss it!
Don't forget, too, that November is the last month before December. And what happens in December that you need to be thinking about in November (besides starting your Holiday shopping early for a change)? How about the long-awaited, justly famous GWC December Awards Banquet. This is not only a magnificent feed for a bargain price ($19 each for up to two members), it's a joyful time to celebrate another year with your friends and fellow gardeners of the GWC. The banquet's going to be held, as always, at the NC State University Club, this year on Tuesday December 10th. Get your checks to Ginny Parker at the November meeting. If you forget your check, be sure to let Ginny know you're coming and will pay at the door. Otherwise, you'll have to stand out in the snow looking in through the windows. Don't be left out in the cold. Reserve your place at the table now.
Finally, the GWC would like to give a “shout out” to Moonlight in the Garden, A Magical Lighting Exhibition which occurs this month at the JC Raulston Arboretum. Moonlight in the Garden returns with more lights than ever this year to say nothing of food trucks, live music, marshmallows and fire pits—they're all back. Don't miss this once-a-year opportunity to experience the JC Raulston Arboretum after dark. Gates open each evening for you, your family and friends to explore this nighttime wonder custom designed and installed by John Garner and his team at Southern Lights of Raleigh. Dates are Thursday–Saturday, November 7–9, 2019 – 5:30 pm–9:30 pm and Thursday–Saturday, November 14–16, 2019 – 5:30 pm–9:30 pm. Limited Tickets Available – Purchase Now
