Newsletter September 2023 – Volume 76, Issue 07

July and Augst have been our summery break. During the summer

Andy and his family set a lovely table for their guests. There was a wide array of mains, sides, desserts, and beverages. There were about twenty people that attended the picnic, including members and their families.

Along with having time to leisurely socialize in this lovely setting it was a wonderful treat to be able to talk with Andy about the plants in his greenhouse. There were orchids and nepenthes everywhere you looked. It was truly a site to behold.

September we will be meeting back at The Center for Urban Horticulture with our speaker, Kelly McCracken speaking on Fragrant Miniatures. She is always a great speaker, be sure to set time aside to join us.
