HONORING OUR VETERANS

At today’s meeting, Crofton Village Garden Club members participated in a hands-on workshop led by Project Co-Chair Cindy Hansen, creating patriotic-themed floral arrangements to honor local veterans. Using red and white carnations, American flags, and fresh greenery, members designed thoughtful tributes celebrating the courage and dedication of those who have served our country.

Following the workshop, Cindy Hansen delivered arrangements to Meals on Wheels in Baltimore for distribution to veterans along their delivery routes, while Diane Gallow delivered additional arrangements to Hospice of the Chesapeake in Pasadena—spreading heartfelt appreciation throughout the community. Jane McClanahan also shared an arrangement with her neighbor, a Vietnam veteran, extending the club’s gratitude close to home.

This annual project reflects the club’s ongoing commitment to service, gratitude, and honoring those who have given so much.
