Interesting Conservation Movie Night with 25+ in attendance tonight at the home of member Lecie Hollis. We watched the first three episodes of "Chasing the Tide," a documentary about our own Texas coastline. In the show, the Klebergs walked 370 miles of the barrier islands in 21 days in 2023. 📽️🍿 #ahthgc

We learned all about bees and honey today at the February meeting of the Alamo Heights-Terrell Hills Garden Club. The meeting, which was a packed house, took place in the home of Jyl Cain. Beekeeper and bee entrepreneur Tara Chapman, owner of Two Hives Honey in Austin, educated us about the world of bees, beekeeping, and what these little creatures do for our gardens. Then we enjoyed tasting different kinds of honey. 🐝🍯 🐝 #ahthgc

Cold weather did not prevent many members from attending the first garden club meeting of 2025 today in the home of Nancy Maloy. We had a big turnout with many wearing coats, scarves and hats. Nicole Tatum and Jody Cochran served cups of hot tomato basil soup and finger sandwiches to warm us up.

Then our own Mary Zocchi, a GCA Horticulture Judge, led a Roots of Wellness Propagation Workshop to teach us to propagate sweet potato, ginger or garlic in preparation to enter the Challenge Class for our Fun Fllower Show in April. 🍠🫚🧄 #ahthgc
