The meeting is also the last chance to bring plants (except for herbs and tomatoes) for the plant sale. We'll have potting soil and pots so feel free to dig up a few more plants, throw them on a paper bag, cardboard, or in a pot, and bring those babies with you. We'll pot them. If you don't have plants, no worries, come anyway!

Photos from the Annual Picnic & Business Meeting, June 2023. The day was unseasonably cold but smiles were warm. Thanks to hostess Beth Hearn and to all who worked behind the scenes to make it a fun and successful event. It was a great way to wrap up the 2022-23 club year.
