Introducing Summer Sisters 2023!
Thriller-Filler-Spiller is a catchy rhyme that is commonly used among garden enthusiasts. This rhyme will help you choose plants for your container garden masterpieces:
- Thriller plants add height and texture, set the rhythm for the remaining plants, and are fun and exciting.
- Fillers do exactly that, filling the middle space with masses of color and texture, creating a deeper dimension.
- Spillers draw the eyes to different spaces as they drape over the edge of the container.
We will be using this theme to help categorize our 2023 Summer Sister activities. Thrillers include fun and thrilling fellowship. Fillers include bible study, devotions and meals shared together, that fill not only our bellies, but our souls. Spillers include service projects and community outreach as we spill into the community. Click on an event below to learn more and to sign-up! You may sign up for as many events as you'd like! Each event has a unique meeting place, date, and time. Some events may require payment or purchase of materials. Please pay attention to the unique details for each event.
