JOIN US  MARCH 26TH FOR AN EVENING MEETING:  Bellbrook Garden Club is offering two opportunities for citizens to join us at times more conducive to those who work daytime jobs. 

The first evening meeting is March 26th at 6:30 PM  at the St. Pierre Education Center at 3757 Upper Bellbrook Road, Bellbrook, next to the high school. (The second will occur July 23 with an evening tour of member gardens.  More information on that will be available in the coming months in the programs section of this website.)

Melissa Proffitt, of the Warren County Soil, Water and Conservation District, will explain the work her county is doing to create pollinator-friendly habitat and food sources for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinating insects and wildlife along a series of continuous corridors. Pollinators move pollen from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma of a flower.  The movement of pollen must occur for the plant to become fertilized and produce fruits, seeds, and young plants.  Participants will also hear what they can do to help create pathways in their yards and neighborhoods.  RSVPs are encouraged at [email protected].

​Painting of The Wright Flyer Iris by Jean Butler
Garden club member Jean Butler was visiting fellow garden club member Genevieve Klyce who had an iris in an arrangement.  The iris was The Wright Flyer, hybridized by Horace Wright (who lived near Bellbrook), the nephew of Wilbur and Orville Wright. Jean painted the iris  and permitted the club to use the image.  Jean passed away in 2010. She was married to Harry Butler who was a renowned horticulturist and local TV broadcaster.
