September Meeting!

Light snacks and refreshments will follow for an opportunity to circulate and chat with fellow members about the summer gardening season.
We are pleased to present:
Fall's Finest: Outdoor Planters & Cut Flower Ideas by Crystal Godfrey of Secret Gardens by Crystal.
Discover how to design unique autumn container gardens and the art of flower arranging with homegrown blooms.
Please note: Members can bring cut flowers from their own gardens to be used as part of the demonstrations. Crystal will be demonstrating fall flower arranging in containers, therefore flowers used in a demonstration may not be able to be returned to the individual. This presentation is not a ‘make and take’ workshop.

Seedy Saturday
We had a very successful Seedy Saturday with over 500 people coming through the door, and about 50 volunteers for organizing, running the event and cleaning up afterwards. We couldn't do it without these willing hands! Thanks again to Niki Jabbour, Elizabeth Peirce, Chris Hall, Chris Radimer and Chris Sanford - our speakers. Our 14 vendors were all enthusiastic and it was great seeing everyone again this year. We had three info tables too, well-attended. With the seeds and plant material we all bought, we look forward to lots of wonderful planting and growing this spring, summer and fall. Thank you! And we wanted to share our list of sponsors again, along with advertisers and supporters! It was a fantastic day all 'round. How about a round of applause for Certainly Cinnamon?
