At Garden Club R.F.D. in Middletown, bulbs are one area that is discussed at meetings that are held on the third Tuesday of each month (except July and August) at the Little Red Schoolhouse, across from Thompson Middle School on Middletown Lincroft Road. This past Sept., Hans Langeveld, co-owner of Longfield Gardens in Lakewood, was the speaker on “Bulbs”.
At the Nov. 15 meeting, synergistic holiday designs will be demonstrated by members who are experienced designers. Then, following their examples, small groups will create their own synergistic designs. A synergistic design is a creative design consisting of three or more containers where balance, rhythm and harmony are achieved across all the containers by the sharing of common characteristics of colors, textures and forms. The containers are used together to create a complete and artistic whole.
