May Meeting

Our next meeting is Thursday May 2nd

The May 2nd meeting is our annual plant exchange and AGM.  

Pot up your plants early so they have time to settle in and look their best for the exchange table.  Shrubs, perennial divisions, annuals or veggie starts are all wonderful options if you have extras.  Please label your plants.  You can bring up to 3 plants for the exchange, any extras can be donated to the sale table.  It is helpful if you bring a small box or bag to carry your plants home.

The meeting begins at 7pm, remember to bring your own mug.
