October General Meeting

Our October General Meeting started out with a short and busy business meeting. Old and new business was handled in a timely manner. After the business meeting Beverly discussed the upcoming Flower Show and explained a lot of the different classes that we could enter. The schedule for the show was passed out to everyone.

Beverly explaining the platform place setting. She then talked about all the beautiful Horticulture that was brought in.

Our speaker for the day was Mike Tardif of Plant Picasso. His talk on succulents was fun and very informative. He discussed the use of succulents in water wise and fire wise landscaping. Also discussed his deep interest in getting kids interested in nature and plants. He talked about something most of us have experienced also, how good a therapy it is to work in the garden.

He made up several pots of succulents that he donated to the raffle. Some very lucky people went home with some great plants!


After the meeting a dozen of us walked over to my house, which happens to be very close, for our first "Lunch in the Garden".

Everyone brought their sack lunch and sat around in the garden and talked and had a great time.

We will be doing this a few more times this year so please join us. It was lots of fun!

Next month, November will be in Jan Bull's garden. Watch the newsletter for more information.
