February General Meeting

Our February General meeting was held on February 8th. Our speaker,Loretta Coussirat gave a wonderful presentation, including a fantastic slide show and movie, teaching us about design, selection and ways to prepare our yards for a freeze as well as how to fix our yards after a freeze. The best way to cover your plants for an freeze is to use a freeze blanket. They allow the sunlight in, yet keep your plants warm. They are available at most of the local stores. She also told us that any plant that is a native plant to the area will come back after a freeze. Our zone is 8B, so we should keep that in mind when purchasing plants. This zone designation indicates the temperatures that the plant can survive in.

January General Meeting

Our January General Meeting was held Monday, January 11, 2010. Our speaker was Anna Perry, Master Gardner, designer and planter for the Ault School Butterfly Garden.

Anna was very gracious in sharing her valuable information on Butterfly Gardens! She shared her plans, fundraising activities, and volunteer information to help get us on the right track with our planned CCL Community Butterfly Garden. This will be a big project, but we know with the support of the Garden Club and our CCL Community, it will be beautiful. We are also involving Girl Scout troops from our community in the activities of the Butterfly Garden.

A reminder to everyone that the Community Garage Sale will be in March. The Garden Club will, once again, have a sale to help raise funds for the Butterfly Garden. If you have any garden items (tools, plants, pots, or anything garden related) that you would like to donate to the Garden Club for the sale, please contact either Debbie or Patti at cclgc1@gmail.com.

Day trip to The Brookwood Community

We had a great day trip to The Brookwood Community in Brookshire this past Saturday (12/5/09). The gift shop was overstocked with beautiful gifts and Christmas decorations, many made by the residents of Brookwood. It was a difficult choice on what to purchase! The greenhouse at Brookwood is awesome. The plants are really beautiful. In addition to their regular plant selection, they had Poinsettas in many sizes and 3 varities! After our visit to the store and greenhouse, we had an enjoyable lunch at their Cafe. (www.brookwoodcommunity.org)

There you have it --
a beautiful day, spent with good friends, enjoying browsing and shopping, topped off with a great lunch!
