Friends of the Main Library St. Augustine is pleased to welcome back Dottie Hudson, President of the Gaillardia Circle of the Garden Club of St. Augustine, who will share her horticultural and design expertise at the July Brown Bag Lunch Program. Ms. Hudson, a designer and Master Gardener, will present Sensational Succulents – Container Gardening. Patrons who attended her Fall into Flower Arranging program last year know that Dottie can make beautiful flower designs seem effortless and fun. For this program she will share some ideas and designs for container gardens of cacti and other succulents. Some Garden Club items demonstrated and used in floral and garden design will be for sale after the program. Best of all, the completed demonstration container garden will be awarded to a winning ticket holder with the proceeds going to Friends of the Main Library St. Augustine to benefit the library.

Friends sponsors the Wednesday Brown Bag Lunch Program once a month as an enjoyable free community event. Everyone is welcome to bring lunch and Friends will provide a complimentary beverage and snacks. For further information please email Friends President Toni Siriani at toni825@hotmail.com.
