Garden Club's holiday salute to veterans


The ninth district Federated Garden Clubs of New York is continuing its long-standing holiday tradition of honoring veterans residing at the Veterans Home in Montrose. Members across the ninth district, including those from the Hopp Ground Garden Club of Bedford, recently came together to create beautiful wreaths that were donated to the Veterans Home, making entrances to residents’ rooms more welcoming and festive for the holiday season.

The effort had the generous support of local businesses and organizations. ShopRite in Mount Kisco donated wreaths to the Hopp Ground Garden Club, and the Bedford Audubon Society allowed the club to use space for assembly and decoration. 

Bedford Audubon’s office administrator, Susan Sloan, said “Garden club members are so warmhearted and generous in supporting our veterans with their time and talents. It’s an honor for us to assist them in any way we can.” 

Maria Carlino, chair of the Hopp Ground Garden Club Veterans Committee, helped organize this year’s event. “We hope the holidays are a little brighter for the people at the Veterans Home.”
