Guests are always welcome. Please contact us at gardenclubcontact@gmail.com if you would like to join us for this Zoom presentation.

Best Entryway Award

Congratulations to Jim & Shannon Boudreau for The Best Entryway Award for fall of 2020! A committee of Garden Club members rotate seasonally through Fuquay-Varina neighborhoods in search of inviting entryways. It doesn’t matter if your ‘style’ of décor is rustic, whimsical, or elegant; we look for one household with seasonal interest and color. Jim and Shannon live at 613 Sippihaw Oaks Drive. With Jim's gardening talent and Shannon's decorator skills, they have created a very welcoming entrance with an inviting porch that begs you to come to sit for a spell.
