Fairy Garden Featured at May Plant Sale
In honor of beloved past garden club member, Jeanne
Bondhus (1920-2009), the Des Fleurs Garden Club is installing a Fairy Garden at
the Oxford Community Arts Center (OCAC).
Jeanne Bondhus was a mixed media artist, an avid gardener, and a Life
Member of the Des Fleurs Garden Club who just happened to be enthralled with
fairies and the gardens they inhabit.
Jeanne's playfully artistic nature was evidenced by her own beautiful
garden on Chestnut Street in Oxford, and by the fairy houses and dolls she
created and gifted to anyone who shared her interest.
Lee DeVore of Creative Works (leecreativeworks.com) has
designed a fairy garden of miniature plants and fairy things that would make
Jeanne proud. Fairy ponds, an elf house,
a secret log where fairies can store their treasures and white coral bells that
only fairies can hear ring will be featured. The little garden will be a
magical place within the Children's Garden at OCAC for all the children of
Oxford to explore and will be featured in one of the Gardeneering Camp units
held on Saturday mornings this summer.
The Fairy Garden will be completed just in time for the
Des Fleurs’ annual Plant Sale and Auction.
The sale, held on May 2 from 8 to 10 am in the North Parlor at OCAC will
also include a live auction beginning at 10:30 am in the ballroom followed by a
free luncheon. Reservations for the
luncheon are required and can be made by calling Marilyn Johnson at 523-2971 by April 25. The auction will feature container gardens,
garden décor, unique and unusual plants, and fairy container gardens.
