SPRINGVALE, Maine - The Southern Maine Garden Club met recently for a lesson in arranging a beautiful spring bouquet. The presenter was Lee Mathews of Lee's Floral Garden in Lebanon (www.leesfloralgarden.org).

Mathews brought many lovely blooms for the club members to choose from and she gave each club member special attention and discussed various styles of arrangements with the group. Club members were just so happy to be taking a beautiful bouquet home that will bring everyone one step closer to spring.
