Garden club hosts salvage program

The Tuesday, April 11 meeting and luncheon of the Mill Creek Garden Club will feature a program by Beth Evans Ramos on creative ways to reuse salvaged materials.

Ramos, a Mill Creek resident and partner with The Salvage Studio, uses forgotten or abandoned items to create ornamentation for homes and gardens. She will demonstrate ways to do this, such as by making wind chimes and birdbaths.

All interested gardeners are invited to join. The garden club meets the second Tuesday of each month September through May at the Mill Creek Country Club, 15500 Country Club Drive. Annual dues are $20. Luncheon costs are $17 for members and $20 for non members. For reservations or more information, call Marlene King at 425-337-1316.
