Garden Club Opens Season with Vineyard Lunch Gathering

"Lunch Amidst the Vineyards" was the theme of the Garden Club of Woodbridge's first meeting of the 2025-2026 season on September 9. Club members met under a pavilion for a charcuterie lunch at Jones Winery in Shelton. Christiana, the owner (see photo) presented information about the winery, as club members perused the rolling vineyards in the background.  She discussed cross pollinating branches from different vines to produce unique blends. The impact of spotted lanternflies on the vineyard was reviewed, as well as how they cover the state by laying eggs on cars driven down I-95. The meeting ended with the raffles of a member's lovely flower arrangement and gift basket.
