Windsor Garden Club Collaborates with WHS Program

The Windsor Garden Club and the Windsor High School Graphic Arts Department teamed up to create the artwork for the poster, ticket and signage for the 2019 Windsor Garden Club Garden Tour.

Windsor High School graphic arts student, Jill Goldberg met with garden tour committee members in order to determine the needs of the project and Goldberg went on to design the graphics for the event posters and tickets.

The partnership between the students enrolled in graphic arts classes has been active for the past five years, allowing students to have real world experiences working with and meeting the needs of clients.

“The programming at the Windsor High School is amazing, it’s important to recognize that,” said Cindy Daniels, chairperson of the Windsor Garden Club Garden Tour and Scholarship committees. “This type of collaboration benefits both the Garden Club and the development of the students.”

Graphic Arts Design teacher, Rebecca Wales-Szyluk said that she welcomes this type of interaction for her students who have also worked with Windsor’s Senior Center and Board of Education on graphic projects.

The Windsor Garden Club routinely reaches out to WHS for student volunteers at WGC events like the recent Garden Mart, fulfilling both the need for event assistance and the student's community service requirements.

The poster for the 2019 Garden Tour, “A Midsummer Gardeners’ Dream,” is on display at locations around Windsor and viewable on the club website, http://windsorgardenclubct.org/.

This year, the garden tour will take place on Saturday July 13, 2019, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., rain or shine. Information about the event and ticket purchase can be found at http://windsorgardenclubct.org/ and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/windsorctgardenclub/.
