| Fundraisers | We hosted our Annual plant sale in May at the Farmer's Market which was a great success. We also had our annual Garden Tour on Saturday, July 12th which was well received by the public. With donations of Peony tubers, Amaryllis bulbs and Rhubarb plants from an anonymous donor through Project Share, we raised funds through sales/donations and donated a portion back to Project Share. We also potted up 60+ Amaryllis bulbs and donated them to our local senior homes for the residents & staff to enjoy. | ||||||||||||
| Highlights | 2025 brought us many informative speakers including Karen Vermeer in April who spoke on Raised Bed Gardening. February we had the ever popular Theresa Forte recapping the 2024 Garden Walk. May was a hit with Louis Harris of Heartland Forest speaking on Backyard Medicines. Heather Hayden Kent of Feeder Flower Farm gave a wonderful presentation on Growing Dahlias for Floral Design. Our Summer Flower shows continue to be a tradition in our Society. Many compliments were made on our 2025 Gardens for our Garden Walk. | ||||||||||||
