Welcome back to all the Garden Club returning members and welcome to all the new members. The 2024-2025 year will be full of opportunities to learn more about the garden club, meet other people interested in gardening and of course have a Good Time!!
The club’s first meeting of the year was September 9th. The speaker was Rachel Tipton of Harbourside Gardens in Stonewall. Rachel gave members a wonderful demonstration on how to arrange an outside planter with various late blooming plants, millet and other grasses. Everyone enjoyed her presentation and scrambled to be the first to buy the plants she had brought for exhibit.
