Grantoberfest!! Saturday!! It's Free!! Don't miss it!!

We will be at Grantoberfest again this year (Sept 22) ! Since we are still celebrating our 30th Anniversary we will be celebrating at Grantoberfest with a lot of free stuff for anyone who comes up to talk to us! We will have fall themed decorations to give away as well as some plants and the opportunity for people to start their own succulent plants and little indoor fairy gardens.

If you have anything to donate, drop it off at Pam's at 216 N Pine Street (just north of the Gburg post office). Any small cute containers would be great. Any little fairy garden stuff, fairy garden sized plants, any pumpkins, gourds, any fun plants that people can take home to plant in their gardens yet this fall (even just in clumps not potted--this will be a hands on gardening experience for folks! I will need donations by Friday late afternoon or by 9:30 at the fairgrounds on Saturday.

Stop by the booth and if you have time, help out with greeting visitors and talking about the garden club.

Hope to see you there!

September 27 Thursday, 6:00 Grantsburg Sign Garden Cleanup

Wow! the season is winding down! Fall is in the air.

We will be gathering at the sign garden on HWY 70 (west side of town) at 6:00 for our annual cleanup!!

• We will be pulling up plants and disposing of them in the scrub behind the garden
• We will be digging up canna bulbs to be stored for next year
• Bring gloves and cleanup tools like rakes, tarps, bushel baskets, whatever will hold debris. Don't forget bug spray.
• Some will do cleanup at the Fair Grounds and the Memory Lake flagpole garden
• We will also be decorating the sign for fall with stuff from Grantoberfest such as corn stalks, hay bales, funcrows (fun scarecrows), pumpkins or anything else we can come up with.
• Hope to see everyone there!! even if you have to be late. Many hands make light work!

Meeting Reminder: Thurday, September 13, 6:30 PM GHS room 115

Wow, the summer has flown by! We will be resuming our regular meetings with the September meeting on Thursday,  September 13 at 6:30 PM in room 115 at the Grantburg High School. We will try to make sure the front door of the school is not locked! 

At this meeting we will be brainstorming for 2019, so bring your ideas about what programs you would like to see the garden club provide. What workshops would interest you, what gardening challenges do you want to learn about, what garden related topics would you like to explore!

We will be discussing Putting the Garden to Bed with a forum. What are your best kept secrets for preparing your garden for winter and to help with a successful spring? What plants do you winter over indoors? What about bulbs? 

September is also our traditional seed and plant exchange. Bring divided plants and collected seeds to share. Let us know what conditions these plants need for success. This is a great time to get last minute plants and seeds to get into the ground for blooms next year!!

Refreshments will be provided by Linnea and Rhonda

Hope to see you all there!!
