Janet Wamboldt was recently elected as the new president of the Chelsea Area Garden Club at the club’s December meeting at The Depot.
She succeeds Susan Moore, who led the group in 2012 and 2013.
Wamboldt, a member of the club since its founding in 1998, has served in various leadership roles, including as president, vice president, chair of publicity and of civic beautification, and co-chair of the group’s spring plant sale.
Also serving on the 2014 garden club executive committee are Kay Heller, vice president; Mary Wilkins, corresponding secretary; Jan Baltzell, recording secretary; and Lynette Hand, treasurer.
The garden club will hold its spring plant sale on May 10 from 8 a.m.-noon, so mark your calendar now. Each year, the group sells several thousand plants, including perennials, vegetables, herbs, wildflowers, ornamental grasses, daylilies and shrubs, all donated by the club’s more than 60 members, neighbors and friends. Proceeds support civic beautification, scholarships and grants for community projects.
The Chelsea Area Garden Club meets at noon the second Monday of the month September through May at Chelsea First United Methodist Church, 128 S. Park St., Chelsea.
