COCOA-ROCKLEDGE GARDEN CLUB HOLDS “ART EXPO”
An “Art Expo” was presented on Friday June 5, 2009. This
fundraiser was sponsored by The Cocoa-Rockledge Garden Club. The
proceeds from this fundraiser are going towards building a
Celebration
Garden at the garden center.
We at Cocoa-Rockledge Garden Club have a great opportunity to
beautify our garden, celebrate loved ones and raise funds for the
club’s operating budget when we install the
Celebration
Garden. The Celebration Garden will consist of a beautiful brick
patio located on the west side of the club house. The brick patio
will be constructed from 4 x 8 engraved brick pavers.
To accomplish this beautiful project, we will make available for
purchase 4 x 8 bricks to members & friends. You can personalize
the brick by selecting the message to be engraved. You can
commemorate and celebrate the memory of a loved one, special
person, your family name, memorialize a special event.
We will pattern this
Celebration
Garden after the FFGC headquarters garden in
Winter Park.
The theme this year was “Seeds of Honor & Remembrance Art Expo”,
