August Garden Club Meeting – August 18th.

Admin

Our next meeting will be next Thursday, August 18th.

Our guest speaker this month is Wayne Hingston who is presenting on Hoya. I believe he is also bringing some plants to sell.

There will be a show and the classes are listed below. Members, please remember to pick up a print copy of the show schedules from the membership desk when they renew their membership at our reduced rate. 

The door will be open by 6:30.  Tables and chairs will be set up so we can maintain suitable distance.  Masks are optional but please stay home if you do not feel well.   

If you are entering items in the show PLEASE have them on the table labelled with the class number and your name before 7:15 pm.
