A holiday committee of Club members decorated the library at the Henry Knox Museum, celebrating their annual open house held on December 2 and 3. This very special event is always open to the public as a free community event with encouragement for donations pf non-perishable foods.
Inspired by Robert Frost’s poem, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” the design featured a display of natural materials to evoke a walk in the woods. Visitors during the Open House enjoyed the smell of cut fresh branches of balsam fir, white pine, and other conifers. Colorful red twig dogwood and silver birch, pinecones and other natural materials were donated by Club members who responsibly harvested them for use in the display.
Our Camden Garden Club elves creatively worked together, happily contributing their time and efforts to support our community with a living poem and efforts to support our community.

Aster from Harvard Museum of Natural History’s Blaschka Glass Models of Plants. “This glass model of an aster is impossible to distinguish from a stem just picked from your summer garden. Stems were often glass coated wire, to give the model the strength to support the weight of the leaves and blossoms. Even the backs of the leaves were made accurate to life.” – National Endowment for the Arts, Spotlight on Harvard's Glass Flowers, Sep 27, 2016 by Paulette Beete.
