Highlights

Kingston Horticultural Society's largest fundraiser was held at the Bennett Barn on the Memorial Center grounds and raised $2690.00 We were invited to dig plants at a previous member's home which added to our sales. Gently used garden utensils added to the profits. Two Master Gardeners were on site to answer questions and guide people's choices.
We hosted the D3 AGM meeting in May. The theme was Birds of a Feather. Decorations were designed and made by the members.
Three Gardening Wonders events showcased members flowers and vegetables.
