🚌✨ Did someone say ROAD TRIP?! ✨🚌

We've been getting quite a few calls lately asking about group travel opportunities, so we're exploring the possibility of offering a WCCOA adventure in early December 2026!

Now we need your help...

Which trip would you choose?

🎶 Branson Show Extravaganza
7 Days / 6 Nights

OR

🌴 Savannah, Jekyll Island & Beaufort, SC
5 Days / 4 Nights

Cast your vote in the comments and tell us why!

We hope this will be the first of many adventures together and are already exploring ideas for a Spring/Early Summer 2027 trip as well.

🌱 Ready to put your luck where your flower pot is??!

Plant Bingo is TODAY at 1:00 PM at The Hive!

Come enjoy an afternoon of fun with the Chipley Garden Club!

📍 The Hive at WCCOA
1348 South Blvd.
Chipley, FL 32428

FREE to play!

Oh, and if you don't have a green thumb, that's okay! Play anyway and gift your winnings to someone special. 🪴💚

So before you plant yourself in that recliner after lunch... head over and have some fun!

Disclaimer: All plant puns in this post were fully intended to cause growth in excitement to join us. Future plant parents are needed. Plants are generally easier than a puppy, occasionally more finicky than a cat, require no leash, are far less likely to chew your shoes, and may cause envy among neighbors. Side effects may include frequent trips to garden centers and talking to your plants.
