May 2010 - Breaking News!!!!!
The Garden Club of Palm Beach announces our gift to the Centennial of Palm Beach. The landscape of the Post Causeway traffic circle located at the intersection of Southern and Ocean Boulevards has been redesigned and installed with the help of the town's Public Works Department and the professional input of local landscape architect Alan Stopek of Efflorescence, Inc. The Public Works Department cleared the area, installed a low volume irrigation system, upgraded the electrical service, and donated two coconut palms. In consultation with Garden Club members, Stopek selected and installed aloes, agaves, bromeliads, ponytail palms, and other succulents. Once these new drought-tolerant, wind-resistant and salt-tolerant plants are established, they require very little maintenance. In the three islands surrounding this circle, the town has planted zoysia empire grass and green island ficus.
Dedication of the Post Causeway traffic circle is scheduled for December, 2010.

The Quest for Nature: Quest Map (click on text)
Children have become lost in the virtual world of television and computers with limited time outdoor in nature. Recent research has shown that reconnecting children to nature is important to their health and well being.
The Garden Club of Palm Beach is engaging local children in a "Quest for Nature" in the Garden Cllub's Demonstration Garden at at The Society of the Four Arts. The children go on the "Quest" using a map with clues to the treasures of nature in their own town's garden. The "Quest" gets children outdoors while they discover native and tropical plants, learn about water conservation, geography and the beauty of healthy ecosystems.
