February, WOW! Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Whether you’re single or coupled up, chances are you know a thing or two about love and Valentine’s Day. And that is not to discount the other February holidays like Groundhog Day or President’s Day, but they just don’t hold the same sentiment as Valentine’s Day.
As president of CWF, I am asking you, what do you love about Coastal Women’s Forum? For me the answer is easy, I love the people, the relationships and the discussions. Over the years we have had some great speakers, great discussions and I have met some awesome people.
Whenever I meet someone new at one of the meetings I am intrigued by their story. I want to know how they heard about us. Who are they a guest of? What do they love to do? What is their passion?
I also love the networking opportunities. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t talk to a member, whether in person or on the phone and we share ideas or ask for a referral. Coastal Women’s Forum has given me so many opportunities to promote other members or their businesses through networking. I do love this organization and the members. Happy Valentine’s Day to all!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Coastal Women’s Forum
Is the one for you!

Wendy Graveman of Pinecone Perennials Brings Spring to CWF
Posted: 01 Feb 2015 01:24 PM PST
The speaker for the February 3 Coastal Women’s Forum dinner meeting will be Wendy Graveman co-owner of Pinecone Perennials in New Bern. Wendy will offer tips to turn brown thumbs green whether they are planting plots or pots. She will also be offering advice on landscaping with native species that should thrive in our coastal environment.
Wendy and her husband Rob relocated from New Jersey in 2000 and started their garden center in New Bern from scratch. They have 7 acres of greenhouses at their home in the county and grow all of the plants they sell at Pinecone Perennials. Rob focuses on growing and Wendy uses her artistic eye to manage the retail side of the business.
This year, Pinecone Perennials will feature a newly added Home & Garden Shop with indoor and outdoor furniture, décor items, and, of course, plants. Right now the shop is bursting with pots of colorful orchids to chase away the winter blues. Wendy notes that she has 1200 orchids at her home and would easily claim the title of “Orchid Lover.”
You can get a dose of spring by attending the CWF Dinner, Tuesday, February 3 at 6 p.m. at the Chelsea.
