The Adirondack Garden Club honors four of its members with awards

The Gretta Prince Memorial Cachepot is an internal AGC award, which is decided on by the club president. In 2025, there were two awardees: Lynn Harrison for her tireless service on multiple committees, including chairing Nominations and Ways & Means, serving as Recording Secretary, and providing invaluable advice. Laura Sells Doyle for her creative work on the newsletter, delighting members with her photography and engaging layouts.
