Meet the Cleveland District Co-Directors Elaine George & Cindy Mulligan
Cindy Mulligan
My introduction to garden clubs was serendipitous, occurring when I noticed a sign announcing a plant sale. Needless to say, I left with a box of botanical treasures. The following year, I contacted City Hall for sale details, and they directed me to the membership chair of the North Olmsted Garden Club. I embraced the invitation to join and embarked on a delightful journey that has lasted for 20+ years.
Each year, our club sponsors a Garden & Flower Show and I eagerly volunteered as a clerk which was an opportunity to gain experience from seasoned judging professionals. I am also a current member of the Cleveland Flower Arranger’s Guild and regularly attending meetings has been an incredible source of knowledge, allowing me to glean valuable insights from my fellow club members. Today I am a Flower Show Student Judge, diligently working towards fulfilling the remaining requirements.
My love for gardening was from my mother. To this day, her day lilies and iris continue to thrive in my own home garden, serving as a constant reminder of our shared connection to nature. My business career has focused on working with people. I currently deliver online webinars to people who are in job transition, guiding them to manage their talent and tell their stories.
I am committed to fostering a vibrant community of like-minded individuals, sharing our collective wisdom and passion for horticulture, art, and the beauty they create together. Feel free to reach out to me with any ideas, suggestions, or questions. Together, let us cultivate a thriving and inspiring environment within the Garden Club of Ohio.
