The San Juan Island Garden Club recognized Meg Strehlou Meiland at its monthly meeting on October 6 at the Mullis Community Center. Meg was awarded the Best In Show ribbon (Youth Division) at the 2015 San Juan County Fair.
Fiona Norris, a Floral Hall Fair Superintendent, presented the award to Meg in the presence of Meg’s mother, Sandy, and the members of the Garden Club. For her winning entry, Meg shared with the Club that she grew the apple tree from an apple seed that she placed in a moist paper towel. She saw the seed germinate and she later planted it in a container for growth and for display at the Fair. The apple tree (held by Sandy in the photo) is thriving. Gardening success story!
Each year the San Juan Island Garden Club recognizes the Fair’s Best In Show Youth Division winner as part of the Club’s purpose and promotion of interest in gardening (for all ages) and the beauty that gardening brings to the island.
