May 3 10 Thursday 6 pm "Potting Party" Kris Henning's, 22163 Spirit Lake Road, Rain or Shine!
Please note date change due to cold spring. Some of us still have snow on our beds!!
  •     Annual Potting Party at Kris's in preparation for our Annual Plant Sale
  •     Refreshments Mary C and Kris
  •     Dig clumps of plants from your own gardens to bring for potting or just come to help pot if you don't have plants to spare. This is a fun event! Dress to get dirty!!
If you have 4", quart and gallon pots we can always use those. Shrubs sell well too so if you have some small shrubs that will dig up well, bring those along with perennials.

Great Meeting at Wood River Garden Store

15 members participated in the Wood River Garden Store preview that Dean did just for the club! Dean was a charter member of the garden club and for years has been giving us special spring previews taking valuable time away from prepping for opening next week!

We all needed a shot of that wonderful aroma of fresh soil and new plants. It was heavenly. Or regular meeting followed the preview. Updates on Club activities over the summer included the plant sale, 30th Anniversary celebration, Annual Local Garden Tour, and August BBQ. The potting party and plant sale are just around the corner. Hopefully our perennials are getting ready to burst out of the soil as soon as the snow melts so we can dig them up for the potting party in early May! Watch for meeting minutes to be posted soon.

Wonderful refreshments were provided by Ruth and Kris.

Here are some snaps of the event
