Greetings to My Fellow Gardeners, April 11, 2023:

This is truly a fun time of the year. There is so much going on with our group right now I wanted
to send this extra message to hopefully help us schedule our days. Please see the attached
flier for the specific events coming up that you can print out. I want to highlight them here
in order of occurrence. Of course, you can find some of this info in the Compass and in the
emails that Lorraine, our efficient Publicity Chairperson, sends to you regularly. Also, specifics
for any of these programs are on our website: www.lhgardengroup.org

Starting APRIL 20, we have the Garden Tour and this year we have eight exceptional gardens
to view. We have an enthusiastic team of volunteers that will ensure an overall success.
Thanks to each of them and, of course, to the homeowners who are working very hard to
prepare for the BIG DAY.

On APRIL 26 we are offering our next Field Trip and it is right here in our own community. A
“Taco Truck of Nurseries” will be at OC parking lot April 26 from 10am to 1pm. I am anxious to
see what plants they have to offer as their sales support a science education nonprofit. Lots
more trips coming.

There are also the Rose (4-29/30) and Bonsai (5-13/14) Shows that are always fun to share
with our friends and neighbors. They each go for two days over a weekend so put the dates on
your calendar and come see what is happening.!

On May 2, our new program, Sustainable Gardening, will have the second workshop. Many of
us in the Garden Group (GG) have been composting for many years and have first hand
knowledge of how to do this miracle of composting (with and without worms) and creating rich,
beautiful garden soil with our kitchen scraps and garden clippings. Our next workshop on May 2
is in the Heights room at OC at 1pm. Many fun topics in the future.

Our biggest fundraiser of the year is the Annual Plant Sale, May 20. Our team of volunteers
makes this a most profitable endeavor and we expect to break records this year. You, of
course, are welcome to donate plants and other garden items or just come and see what we
have to offer our wonderful community (at really good prices).
On May 25 at our next General Meeting “Farmer Fred” and Debbie Flower, two of our favorite
speakers, will take on Container Gardening. Not to be missed. 2pm at Kilaga. Come early.
June 5 is the day of our Spring Social, “Honey Bees and Hats”. It will be a fun luncheon for
our members in the Secret Garden and always sells out. Get your tickets today!
I hope this helps you schedule your days. Thanks again for your participation. Hope to see you
at one or more of our events…
