President's Message
2025-2027
"SOWING WILDLY FOR THE FUTURE"
My precious club members,
I am honored and excited to have been re-elected your President for the 2025-2027 season. I will continue to do my best to continue the success and fun we are currently enjoying while continuing our traditions and making some new ones.
Your leaders are working to keep the ball rolling on the re-plant of our bluebonnets and other wildflowers along Highways 175 and 155 in and around the Frankston area.
Our officers and committee leaders have worked some this summer and have been tossing out ideas for a workshop or more on planting and growing food and flowers with the children in our area, a ways and means "TOUR OF HOME GARDENS", a possible future FASHION SHOW. Other thoughts include expanding our salute to fallen soldiers to include a wildflower garden and Gold Star Memorial area.
District III has planned a Flower Workshop in September and Flower Show in October. We are invited to attend and participate both the workshop and the flower show and have formed a committee to help with that and for future events of this type.
We all joined the Frankston Garden Club for so many different reasons. I believe that EVERYONE has a gift and I would love for all to share their gifts in our club and community. We will help you find your gifts if you don't already know and help you plug in, have fun and SOW WILDLY!
Frankston is growing as you may know with over 100 new homes slated to be built in several different areas. Frankston is a very attractive place to live, raise children and retire! We can help Frankston retain it's aura as the "RISING STAR OF EAST TEXAS". Let's SOW WILD and GENEROUSLY to teach every generation to love all types of gardening as we all do.
