Butterfly Garden has been replanted!

As many of you know, the 2 freezes we had this winter knocked out the butterfly garden -- some of the plants did come back, but others didn't make it. The garden was replenished this past Wednesday, April 13.
Special thanks to Helen Lombardo for all of her efforts in the selection and placement of plants, and organizing the planting itself. You are very much appreciated Helen!! Also big thanks to all of the garden club members who came out to help plant -- we couldn't do it without you!! The area closest to the center will be completed after our bricks are installed in a few weeks. Watch the blog for more information on when they will be installed.

What's your favorite plant?

Our April meeting was held on April 11th and our speakers were our very own members. We each spoke about our favorite plants and brought the plant, a piece of the plant or a picture. We shared ideas on where the plant grows best, and why we liked that particular plant. Some of the plants shared were Bird of Paradise, "five finger" fern, Hot Lips Salvia, and Gardenias.

April General Meeting

Our April general meeting will be held this Monday, April 11th at 26907 Canyon Walk Ln. This month our own members are the speakers. Each member will talk about their favorite plant and will bring either a picture or the actual plant for everyone to see. It's a great learning session to help diversify our knowledge and yards. We look forward to seeing you Monday!!

Have Ants??

Organic way of getting rid of ants: try putting grits on the mound without disturbing the ants. They will eat the grits which will expand causing them to die. This process does take several days to work. Fire ants have several entrances to their mound, so be sure to cover the entire mound!
