Program on Saint Gaudens


On November 10th, James Haff, the Director of Saint-Gaudens Gardens in New Hampshire gave a delightful and informative program for the Garden Club. He presented a slide show with pictures of the gardens and buildings, along with historical information on Saint-Gaudens himself and the development of the National Historic Site. It brought back memories of the trip that the Garden Club had taken over there in 2003.

After the program, the members enjoyed a delicious luncheon prepared by the hostesses - Gloria Leven, Marie Hasson, Maria Hermann, Bessie Centini, and Susan Kneebone. They had a wonderful fall table setting that complemented the food.
In the business meeting, we discussed plans for the Christmas season and decorating.
