New business:

Becky Tessman passed around a signup sheet for help in weeding the garden at the Grantsburg sign.

Kris Henning talked about the Circle Nursery Tours scheduled for May 21 or 28th. Kris also brought in seed catalogs to view and magazines from the Horticulture Society of MN. If anyone is interested in a membership to the Hort. Society it comes free with a subscription to the Northern Gardener Magazine and you’ll need to talk to Becky Tessman regarding that.

The club welcomed new members.

We watched a video brought in by Wanda Biorn on “Square Foot Gardening” by Mel Bartholomew. This is a very interesting video for people with a small area for gardening. If you are interested please see Wanda as she will lend out the video.

Tim and Becky Tessman show a wonderful PowerPoint presentation on their garden travels including the Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island, the Munsinger Gardens in St.Cloud, MN, Key West and many more gardens. They also provided a very informative handout on the gardens they have seen.
