Ridgewood Garden Club Of Parma In The "Glow"

After putting their gardens to bed, the members of the Ridgewood Garden Club of Parma got busy planning how to decorate their Christmas tree in the Cleveland Botanical Garden's Glow event. Glow is a spectacular holiday tradition that includes walking tours of the gardens, featuring unique works of art created by Cleveland's MC3STEM High School students. The Glow event will transport visitors to a world full of seasonal cheer; by hopping aboard the Garden Express for a whimsical train ride; by taking photos in front of the two-story tree; by visiting the lively town square filled with musicians and carolers; by decorating their own gingerbread house; by letting the kids pick out gifts at the Tree Top shop; by enjoying holiday candies from Mrs. Claus' Sweet Shoppe; by stopping at the Garden Store for grown-ups; by leaving their own wish on the wishing tree; by marveling at the amazing gingerbread houses; and by viewing a delightful display of creative trees decorated by affiliate garden clubs. 

The Ridgewood Garden Club of Parma has been participating in the Glow event. Last year our Christmas tree was decorated with children's mittens and scarves which were donated to the Parma Area Family Collaborative center for Christmas. This year, the theme is "The Cleveland Zoo." The tree will be decorated with a variety of stuffed animals which will be donated to the Rainbow Children's Hospital.  

Elaine Mekruit, the club liaison to the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, chaired the decorating committee. If you're interested in attending the Glow event, please call 216-721-1600 ext. 100 for tickets. It runs from Nov 28th to Jan 4th. Happy Holidays to everyone!
