February 2026 Message from the President

Our February meeting was a great chance to share seeds as well as information, with our annual seed exchange sending everyone home with seeds if they wanted. And our talk on Arthritis, Health and Herbs had lots of ideas for self care of the joint pains that eventually will come to most of us. Thankfully, we can do a lot to take care of ourselves, with exercise, medications, and herbs.

 

Our March meeting will be at the Veteran’s Hall, and our topic will be Marshmallow root, led by Nan and Selena Franz. I am looking forward to the recipes and demos of how to use this old-time favorite.

 

Our spring schedule has been updated, so look ahead for all the things we have planned. And if you keep a garden journal, please let me know if you would be willing to share a few pages or digital images of how you like to keep track of your garden. We plan to share these in May to inspire more journaling for gardening success.

 

Here’s hoping that our winter will be just wet enough for spring planting success!

Kitty Stewart

GCHS President
