The April meeting was our last before our summer of fun begins! Start digging up those perennials for potting up on May 4 at Kris' annual potting party in preparation for our annual plant sale! Then get ready for some garden cleanup on May 11 and planting the Grantsburg sign garden on June 1. The Big Gust Days plant sale will be June 3.
Mary C gave us a great presentation on orchid culture. She has become a near fanatic for these beautiful plants in a year and a half, and has learned and shared with us her knowledge and experience as an aficionado. Most are relatively easy to grow and seem to thrive on benign neglect so long as they have the right growing medium, a large enough but not too large container, indirect sunlight and are not over watered. That said, Mary had some very nice specimens to show us and a thorough presentation with a very useful handout.
