Good evening, our next meeting is on June19th, 2 weeks today. This is an early reminder that this meeting is a little different, a “Sweet Social and Share”. We will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of our club with cake and other desserts (the Sweet Social) and will have a plant swap (the Share).
Pleases remember to pot up any cuttings, divided plants or other plants to swap with fellow members. If you are dividing hostas or splitting irises and don’t want them all, there are members who would love to rehouse them. Houseplants or garden plants are welcomed.
