In 1975 the Guilderland Garden Club and Guilderland Historical Society began decorating the Mynderse-Frederick House on Route 146 in Guilderland Center for a holiday greens show and open house. Planning for what has become an annual free community event begins in late summer. The decorations, wreaths and most of the refreshments are made by Club members and each year the show has a different theme. We thank everyone who has attended over the years!
The Guilderland Garden Club, along with the Guilderland Historical Society, was delighted to return to the historic Mynderse/Frederick House for our 2023 Holiday Greens Show! The House was decorated with fresh greens and handmade ornaments and decorations for the winter holidays, made by Club members, were sold. The Helderview Garden Club joined us this year, decorating the Ladies Parlor.
We were very pleased to see so many of you at the 2023 Greens Show (see photos below). Thank you for purchasing our wreaths and ornaments and for your donations. The Club will be donating most of their profits to local Food Pantries and the Caring Closet. Thank you for attending the Show!

Annual Greens Show and Open House
Carol Samsonoff, pictured left, created this replica of the original wedding dress worn by Apolonia Frederick. Carol sewed the entire dress by hand, without a pattern, using very delicate silk and lace. The dress is modeled by Donna Crego. Donna had worn the original dress at the show for many years, but it had greatly deteriorated and could no longer be worn.
