Naval Academy Garden Club blooms up the 4th of July in Annapolis

The Naval Academy Garden Club uses flowers to add a bit of cheer to the Hackerman-Patz House at Anne Arundel Medical Center for the 4th of July.

The Hackerman-Patz House, located on Jennifer Road across from Anne Arundel Medical Center, is a home away from home for patients receiving treatment at the hospital as well as their family members. It provides affordable accommodations to the patients and their families so they may rest, relax and regain strength while staying closer to the hospital.

Each week a different NAGC member picks up flowers from one of four local grocery stores, prepares an arrangement and then delivers it to the Hackerman-Patz House. The NAGC is grateful to Fresh Market, Giant at Festival, Giant at Severna Park and Graul’s Market for donating flowers in support of this project.
