LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Buckets of cut flowers and ferns were made into floral arrangements by clever 4-H members for Lake County Farm Bureau's “Love of the Land” event on July 30.
Volunteers included 4-Hers from Cole Creek and Blue Heron Clubs.
Erica and Kimmy Illg, Julienne Bennett, Seth and Justin Costner, Asia and Ethan Jones, Adrianna Guardado and Victor Guzman worked to decorate more than 30 tables at the Rancho de los Fuertes site on July 30.
Bouquets in quart jars tied with a fabric ribbon, surrounded by Lake County produce like dried pears, red Bartletts, locally made soap, polished glass and ornamental seeds contributed to the theme “Love of the Land.”
