Gerri Damico, Garden Club of Cape May President
Our President's Message
My love of gardening came from my father. When I was 13 years old, he took me
to our favorite local garden center to purchase plants for our garden. Being the
oldest of six children, spending alone time with Mom or Dad was a treat. Little did I
know he planted a seed with me that still flourishes today.
When I retired back in 2018, after moving to Cape May, the first thing I did was
join their garden club. I made acquaintances, some I am proud to say I now call
friends, volunteered for a community project and threw myself into the activities
of our club. There are lots to keep you busy and the projects we support always
need help. Our teams can always use an extra pair of hands helps.
Many of us have talents that collectively will help us grow and expand. Why not
share them with the garden club. Remember the saying “it takes a village.”
So, when we meet again in September, kindly offer your help on a project or two
where you feel you are a fit. Or join a project and learn something new.
Thank you all for your continued support of The Garden Club of Cape May. I hope
with your help and support I can continue the legacy left by the talented woman
who came before me. Stay cool, and safe. See you in September!
