April 2025 Message from the President
As we really begin to experience spring, it's great to plan for our gardens and to enjoy the beautiful area where we live. Oksanna Pope gave us some great ideas for decorating with the wonderful accessories that nature provides, from feathers to lichen to mushrooms to herbs and flowers. Thank you Oksanna, for all the inspiration.
We look forward to our talk from Dan Bowden on Composting at the May meeting, and we hope you'll have plants to bring for our annual Plant Exchange. Herbs are the theme, but veggies, flowers and other plants are welcome. Remember that we want to be as neat as possible, since we need to clean up after ourselves at the Veterans Hall. Bring your contributions in small containers, and bring bags or boxes for carrying home
If you want to work at our garden at the fairgrounds, please let me know. We're planning to do a general clean up later this month, and all help is welcome.
See you on May 2nd.
Kitty Stewart
GCHS President
