Plant sale May 16 raising over $1200

Highlights

Michelle Goff led a successful Basic Floral Design beginner workshop in March.
We had 'Sharp my Knife' from Rockwood come to our April meeting and they sharpened garden tools for anyone interested.
The garden tour featured a total of 8 gardens, several within walking distance of each other.
A bus trip to Royal Botanical Gardens with a guided tour of Hendrie park, lunch , free time to browse and some retail therapy at Terra Nursery on our way home was enjoyed by the 22 people who went. The numbers were disappointing but the trip was great.
