Above: The theme of this year’s West End Garden Club flower show on July 21 was “Superior Women.” As usual, the arrangements were extremely creative, giving tribute to women near and dear such as mothers, daughters, and sisters- and mothers-in-law; local legends such as Justine Kerfoot and Dorothy Molter; and famous women who have been inspiring, such as Sacajawea and Eleanor Roosevelt.
