PECANS & WALNUTS ORDER – ONE WEEK LEFT

by

Each year, the Lakemoor Hills Garden Club holds a fresh Pecan sale to fund our beautification projects in the neighborhood.

These pecans are superior to those you’ll find at local grocery stores. They come straight from Wrens, Georgia, which is renowned for producing the best pecans in the south.

We offer three products in 1-pound bags:

1. Mammoth-sized whole pecan halves for $13.50 per bag—just fifty cents more than last year. These pecans are truly stunning.

2. Medium-sized pecan pieces perfect for candy, cheeseballs, cookies, and more, priced at $13.00 per bag.

3. English Walnuts—Light Halves and Pieces for $9.00 per bag, which we introduced last year.

Additionally, the LHGC has our own cookbook titled The Pecan Ingredient, available for $11.00. Each recipe features pecans and was generously contributed by members of the garden club. It’s an excellent resource for holiday cooking and makes a fantastic gift when paired with a 1-pound bag of pecans in a charming basket or bag.

The order deadline is November 6. Only one order will be placed this year. We receive them before Thanksgiving.

For more information, please contact Suzan Bowman (865) 705-9451

Tulip Plant II – Sat. Nov 20th

As you have seen in previous post we had a great turnout of volunteers planting today.  We are now at 50% planted!

Tulip Plant II will be this Sat. Nov 20th
If you would like to volunteer…we will meet in the church parking lot at 11:45am. 

Please come prepared to work in the dirt, eg with gloves, kneelers, and trowels. If you have a bulb planting tool please bring it too. Safety-we will supply reflective safety vests and will be working in daylight. Exposure to road traffic is mostly crossing the road to get to the roundabouts.

These are nice activities to meet your neighbors and help make your Lakemoor Hills even more beautiful.
