The February meeting was at the First United Methodist Church of Ellisville with 17 members present. Members enjoyed delightful Mardi Gras-themed refreshments.
Rosemary Norton presented the program. She and her husband Mark started their fresh cut flower business, Rosie’s Posie Patch, only a year ago. Their farm is in the Myrick Community just east of Laurel. In 2019, they planted approximately five acres of flowers consisting of zinnias, cosmos, black oil sunflowers and gladiolas. Rosemary humorously described the many challenges and lessons that she learned during her first year. During her presentation an array of gorgeous photos were circulated among the group. She sells her flowers seasonally at farmers' markets, auctions, Patina’s Boutique and on social media. Her customers buy her beautiful flowers for a variety of events or just for personal enjoyment. She invited the club for a tour later in the year if time permits.
