Martha Valdes is a relatively new member, having joined the Temple Terrace Garden Club in 2022.  She has quickly become active yet quietly participated in numerous activities/ projects of the club without fanfare and always wearing a smile.   She has attended many of the field trips and this year was instrumental in planning and arranging our October field trip to Vista Gardens, a Community Garden.  Prior to joining the Garden Club, she participated in her first ever Floral Design Class while still a visitor to our group.  Since that initial class she became a member of the Temple Terrace Garden Club and chose to participate in yet another Floral Design class. She was interested in expanding her knowledge and to have new experiences with our club.  Martha continues to incorporate what she has learned with her love of creating floral designs as well as tablescape displays for Spring Market, DDD and even most recently has become an integral committee member on Hospitality.   She enjoys sharing all about her  personal interest in gardening of flowers, horticulture, vegetables and herbs in her home backyard.  Congratulations to Martha as we recognize her as our October  Member of the Month.
