Suffield Garden Club’s 2022-2023 Yearbook best demonstrated an all-around approach to furthering President Polly Brooks’ project theme, “We Growing Gardens & Gardeners.” The yearbook cover, President’s letter, and the use of graphics throughout the yearbook identify and highlight supporting programs and speaker topics which support the theme.
