Arizona Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc.2011 - 2013 Theme
Dear Garden Club Friends,
My theme for the next two years is:"Our Beloved Arizona - Conserve, Cherish and Celebrate"
The theme carries three main goals:
Conserve - Preservation of our State's preciousnatural resources
Cherish - Care for our fragile desert environmentby maintaining good gardening practices, waterpreservation and proper plant selection
Celebrate - Get out and enjoy your garden, yourstate parks, and your glorious state
It is my hope that our Garden Clubs will offer their memberseducational opportunities to learn more about our native anddesert adapted plants, water harvesting, conservation andenvironmental issues.
It is my hope that our members will take their knowledge outinto their gardens and into their communities.
It is my hope that we will embrace our desert environment bybecoming responsible stewards of our beloved Arizona.
The State President's Project will be to beautify our civic andpublic places using native and desert adapted plants in ourlandscape design or in container gardening.
See you in the Garden,
Carol Parrott, AFGC President

"Field of Daffodils"
The picture perfect view,Oh, the beauty of this placeThey have their gorgeous smiles onFull of joy and grace
A beautiful field of daffodils
They're swaying in the windIn each in every wayThe wind blows them hour by hourEvery single day
A beautiful field of daffodils
Colors joined by the breezeThey're a rainbow in a blurYou wonder where they'll goAnd maybe where they were
A beautiful field of daffodils
Their seeds will fly awayAnd land in some other placeTo grow another face
A beautiful field of daffodils
I enjoy the moment while it lastsMy happiness in a chime,But if I had it my way,I'd be here all the time
A beautiful field of daffodils

Pecan Grove Garden Club
“FIELD OF GOLD”My memory has faded,My face is creased and lined;But know I still a placethat burns deeply in my mind.
Oh those youthful years,I only remember some.But of the ones that I do,They shine just like the sun.
That lovely meadow-Oh! If I could see againI would be fully satisfiedTo leave this life of men.
The enchanting glow-Flowers turning like the sea,Dancing to the wind's sweet tune;They still enrapture me.
Aromatic BlossomsGolden under the sun;I'd prance in them full of gleeWhen I was once so young.
Daffodil garlandsI used to make for Mother;Flowers grew abundantlyAnd one was like no other.
Their beautiful, blond heads,And graceful, bladed arms,Lovely in their innocence,They grew around in swarms.
Oh dear! My eyes are leaking.Sorry for keeping you still.I would love to visitThat field of daffodils.

Tim Timmerman, Yuma Garden Club
member, has a great idea for a topsy-turvy
container garden. A rebar is placed in the
center holes of 4 pots. Turn pots at angles,
place a drip system line through the holes.
Add soil and plants. That simple!

Ethel Secrist, AFGC President 1953-1955, from Alpine Garden Clubin Flagstaff, was so inspired by the purchase of a typewriter andmimeograph machine that she wrote an article for the NationalGardener. It read: "With this equipment we are able to bring muchinformation to the membership and make closer ties betweenour state organization and member clubs." ?

When you enter a flower show, humor helps keep yourperspective. Iva Corpstein, our AFGC founder & President,
shared this advise at the 1948 NGC meeting held in Tucson.
"Always turn the ugly side of your arrangementtowards your husband. He won't know the difference."
