Members of the Holden Beach Beautification Club decorated around town this week. Happy Holidays!

If you missed the November meeting you missed a grand feast. Wednesday was our annual Thanksgiving Pot Luck. There is no doubt that the members of HBBC are excellent cooks! It was great to see everyone socially and meet a few spouses as well.

Thank you for your service Veterans! The Holden Beach Beautification Club’s Seasonal Decoration Committee added patriotic decor in honor of our veterans. The flags and bunting look great!

Our Seasonal Decorations crew added Halloween decor to Padgett Garden and The Boat today. Happy Halloween!

The Holden Beach Beautification Club has chosen the lovely yard of Shirl and Douglas Keith at 132 Sailfish Drive as the October Yard of the Month. The Keiths moved to Holden Beach with their puppy Zoe about a year ago.  Since then, they had made their yard a gorgeous addition to our island. 

The vivid colors of lantana, vinca, hibiscus, pentas, marigolds and numerous others make it hard to decide where to focus first. In the cooler fall weather the yard is a pleasure to find on your way to Sailfish Park.

The HBBC Seasonal Decorations Committee was out in force this morning bringing some fall cheer to the Gardens. Thanks to Chairman Nancy Keels and the rest of the committee!

HBBC has been busy prepping the gardens and planting for Fall and Winter. Summer annuals that were spent were removed, and new plants were put in their place along with a dose of fertilizer. Some summer annuals are still going strong and will be replaced later as they begin to fade.

Thanks to the Landscaping Committee and Chair Tia Hegarty for all their ongoing hard work in the gardens! Want to join us? Everyone is welcome! Just send us an email at holdenbeachbc@gmail.com.

As temperatures begin to cool off, HBBC Members continue to work in the gardens each week removing spent summer annuals, weeding, and adding a few fall plants for color.
