Hope all of you are starting out the New Year right, with a focus on health and happiness. Luckily, herbs are good for both!

 

We had a wonderful presentation on Turmeric at our January meeting, thanks to Nan Franz, and we are planning our annual Seed Exchange at the February meeting. Bring seeds that are likely to sprout (less than five years old is fine, older only if you have proofed them) and trade with friends for a delightful variety in your spring growing. This year I tried Amaranth and loved it more for the flowers than anything else. What will we try for the coming season?

 

Don't forget to let us know if you would like to present a topic related to herbs, or serve on our Hospitality or Garden teams. We always can use a hand. And thanks especially to those who have helped with the Veteran's Hall clean up days. That will happen again later this year, so everyone is welcome to help keep the Hall spruced up.  We'll be talking about Farm Day, coming up in May, when we have the opportunity to introduce 3rd Graders to growing herbs when they visit our Adopt-A-Spot Garden. So if you love your herbs, we have lots of fun planned for the coming year!

 

Let me know if you have ideas that will make our Society more fun for you! This club belongs to all of us, and the more we get involved, the more enjoyable it is!
