For our December event, Mary Ann Rush presented The Art of Gift Wrapping for All Holidays.

Mary Ann’s presentation showed us how to be more creative in wrapping gifts for all occasions and all holidays. Mary Ann offered unique tips on how to wrap gifts with a flare. We learned how to present your gifts as works of art that will delight the receivers. Mary Ann’s presentation illustrated how she loves to incorporate plant materials from our gardens in innovative ways and how best to achieve that special look that will amaze.

Mary Ann Rush last spoke to our group in February 2013 on “How to Create Your Dream Garden.” Mary Ann has been on the Board of Directors of the Westlake Village Garden Club for the past two years and currently serves as their 1st Vice President. She is a well-versed presenter on a myriad of topics relating to gardening and design. She is most proud of the Yellow Ribbon Lupin Hill School’s garden that she created to encourage kids to read. Called the “Garden of Readin” it features cement benches embedded with colorful tiles that help children to learn how to read.
