Garden Club Meeting – March 16th.

Admin

Good  morning, while it doesn’t look like Spring outside this morning under that snow there are signs of life ready to burst out – bulbs reaching out of the soil, tree buds swelling and the birds are returning to our gardens.  We hope you will venture out yourself next Thursday for our March meeting  which will include a Chili Night, presentation and show.

 

There will be a selection of chili dishes made by members to warm your stomach.   Our speaker will be Sherry Dodson from the Durham Master Gardeners who will speak on “Roses for Today’s World” to warm your  gardening hearts.  We will also have a small show to warm your competitive nature.

 

 Please join us on Thursday at 7:30 at the Ajax Legion on Hunt Street.  Doors open at 7pm and show entries should be in place by 7:15.

 

If you were not able to attend the first meeting in  February you can pay your membership on Thursday and get your Yearbook and membership card.
