Garden Club Will Host Wreath Making Workshop on Nov. 6

The free event will be held at the neighborhood's green market near the LIRR station.

The Douglaston Garden Club will host a holiday wreath-designing workshop this Sunday at the community’s greenmarket.

The free workshop will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Nov. 6 at the greenmarket, which is operated in the traffic circle of Douglaston’s Long Island Rail Road station.

Douglas Montgomery, president of the club, said the group would likely raffle off the finished wreaths.

“It’s an effort at community outreach and to let the community know what we are up to,” Montgomery said of the workshop.

The garden club is responsible for the upkeep of , which is located along Douglaston Parkway at 240th Street and 42nd Avenue, as well as the first three islands of Alameda Mall.

Montgomery said the club recently planted 1,500 daffodil and tulip bulbs as well as trimmed and weeded the park.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
