What to do in the February garden by Sue Dunn:
 

February is the start of pruning time, although this cold weather is causing a bit of a delay.  Sue Dunn provided a comprehensive list to keep us all busy.

Guest Speaker:

We raffled a selection of great items too numerous to mention and of course, the plant of the month.  Our guest speaker brought a prize to add to the raffle, a bag of walnuts from her farm.
