April 13, 2009 Meeting

After our usual business meeting, we had a great activity where we were broken into groups and each given a different type of plant -- Trees and Shrubs, Perennials,

Annuals and Herbs and Edible Flowers – to give a presentation on. Each group was also given a couple of articles pertaining their selection. Our objective was to work as a group to give 5 key points about the plant type, list advantages and disadvantages, incorporate our own personal experiences with that type of plant, and to tell something new that we learned from our discussion on that type of plant. It was a lot of fun coming together, doing our own presentations, and teaching each other.










Our next event will be on May 2, 2009 as we host our 1st Plant Sale. The proceeds from this sale will go toward the building of our neighborhood Butterfly garden.

We look forward to seeing everyone on May 2nd for the sale, and again on May 11th for our last meeting of the year.


Happy gardening!

Everyone had a great time at the community Easter Egg Hunt. Our garden club had a table set up with information on the club, as well as a raffle for 2 beautiful plants - One Easter Lilly and one Tulip plant. Congratulations to Steve Rice and Ellie O'Connor on winning the drawings!

We look forward to seeing everyone Monday, April 13 at Nicole Alvarez's home (11418 Coalfield Ln in Section 4) for our monthly meeting.
