Meeting called to order at 6:35 pm
Minutes from the previous meeting are online for review. Kris moved to approve the minutes, motion was seconded by Janet.

Treasurer's report:  $1693.27   There were no new expenses and no new income.

Sue A. brought lovely daffodils to sell for a fund raiser for the Cancer Society.

New Business:
Our annual fund raiser is our Plant Sale. The sale is on June 1 at TDawgs parking lot at the Mall. Set up is at 6:30am.  We still need volunteers to work the sale.

Plant Potting party is at Kris's home on Thursday May 2 at 6pm. Please bring quart and gallon size pots with you, as well as the clumps of plants to be potted up for the sale.  Kris will take care of the plants until the sale.

The Welcome to Grantsburg sign planting is Thursday May 30 at 5:30pm. We still need volunteers to help with that project. Janet B. will purchase a container of Osmocote for the planting. The club will order 16 large Zinnias and 12 small Zinnias from Wood River Garden Center. Kris may have a small container of Osmocote to use, also.

Weeding schedule needs to be set up. Janet made a motion to have Pam set up the schedule. We don't need to weed for at least the first two weeks after planting. If you are set up for a week that won't work for you, you may ask another club member to switch with you.

Look in your Community Education flyer for details about the bus trip to Como Park Conservatory and Japanese garden on Sunday June 23. The cost is $40 per person which will include a coach bus ride and a tour of the Japanese gardens and time to look around at the Zoo. Please sign up soon. Lunch will be on your own.

Our April meeting will have a change from our usual Thursday meetings. We will meet on Saturday April 13 at 10am at the Wood River Garden Center on Hwy. 70. Dean will give us a tour and show us what is NEW for this year. Will be lots of fun.

Meeting adjourned at 6:50. Refreshments provided by Pam and Georgianne.

Our presenter this evening is Jackie Bedworth.  She will show us how to make our own Garden Globe out of willow. Jackie brought all of the items needed for the project. Let's get started.....  We each created wonderful and unique garden globes to take home to decorate our garden, if it ever warms up. Thank you so much, Jackie, for your expertise and guidance. We had so much fun. It is not easy to do and each one looked different.

Submitted respectfully by Janet B.

Willow Globe Workshop with Jacki Bedworth

Eight of us joined willow weaver, Jacki Bedworth, for a willow globe making workshop. These willow globes are purposely "messy" in their construction so one might think they would be easy to make. Not so!

We all struggled to create something that was generally round and somewhat regular but alas, even this takes a level of expertise that one must learn through practice. We had fun and are hoping that nestled in the garden or hung from a tree our willow globes will add an element of interest in the snowy landscape and later in the beautiful summer sun!.

 

Okay, no hiding behind your globe!

 

Jacki!
