September 3, 2024, 7pm – Welcome Back
Many of us haven’t seen each other for several months and we have lots to tell each other. September’s meeting will be an old-fashioned gabfest. So polish up your best gardening stories and be ready to share with the group.
October 1, 2024, 7pm – It’s the Great Pumpkin!!
We will direct Club Members in creating a charming Fall floral design in a mini pumpkin to take home. You bring your personal pumpkin (one very small pie pumpkin), cleaned out, and the Club will supply the oasis and flowers and greens
November 12, 2024, 7pm – Pesticides & Herbicides
We all know using pesticides and weed killers is bad for the planet, but do we know why and how? One of our club’s Master Gardeners will discuss what happens when we spray our gardens and its impact on the environment.
January 7, 2025, 7pm – Winter Sowing
Don’t have the space, inclination, or equipment to start seeds inside? Never thought you could save $$$ on your spring flowers, both annuals and perennials? Club member Patti Schultz will demonstrate the seed-starting technique that has taken the gardening world by storm.
February 4, 2025 7pm – Yay! Craft Night!
What’s better than a wine cork in a wine bottle? Why, a wine cork festooning a plant pot, of course. Club member Karen Block will lead a hands-on workshop to turn a wine cork into a plant stake. Let your imagination run wild. Be as silly or elegant as you wish. The Club will supply basic supplies. Bring other mini materials, such as ribbon, rosettes, sequins, etc., to fulfill your vision.
March 4, 2025, 7pm – Gardening in Shades of Green
Shade gardens can be just as elegant, beautiful, and colorful as sun gardens. Master Gardener LindaJo Hare will share suggestions and tips she has learned over 40 years for gardening in the shade.
April 8, 2025, 7pm – What’s New Pussycat?
George Papadellis of Telly’s Greenhouse travels to nursery trade shows and other growers venues to learn what’s new in the plant world for 2025. This month he returns to tell us what we can expect to see in our local nurseries and plant catalogs this spring.
May 6, 2025, 7pm – Our Very Own Flower Show
We had so much fun last year with this event, many members requested we do it again. So spruce up your house plants and/or imagine a floral design that is sure to take best of show. This is both an opportunity to expand our knowledge of design and horticulture but also a lovely social event
to end our 2024-25 year on a positive note.
