TOAST

Sauntering down the cream pavered path toward the purple front door of the Wedgewood blue house with the lime Bahama shutters on an early June morning, you may not hear the gleeful chatting from the back of the house by the patio and pool. There, underneath the shaded canopy, gather four dear friends who devote countless hours to propagating the mission of the Naples Garden Club, which is 250 members strong. This cheerful group of green-thumbed pals is delighted to be together outside, after quarantining at home.
