IMPORTANT!! Please make a note of the date change for this meeting only. The April meeting will be the THIRD Thursday of this month, April 20. The church needs our space for their Easter preparations.

The speaker for April 20 will be Candy Nakanishi on All Things About Rhizomatous Begonias, potting, trimming, rooting, fertilizing. Now is the time to learn how to improve your skills and learn the fine points of this type of begonia. Please bring in one of your rhizomatous begonias to show or ask questions about or have Candy trim.

During our business portion, there needs to be a discussion about the Plant-o-rama at Shermans Gardens in July. Perhaps we should consider buying less of the 6” and more of the 4” which can be used for our raffle tables if they don’t sell. If this cool weather continues, the 6” will not be as impressive and that will affect sales. Also consider ordering some flowering begonias (or Streps).
I will not be at this meeting but will return May 2 to order the plants. Thank you to those members who’ve brought such tasty snacks.
Let’s continue with this laid back policy.
