Recent Events

Thanks to all gardeners that contributed to our annual Spring Plant Sale on May 23rd. This is our major fund-raiser for the year. We had an excellent sale despite the cool spring. We could not be successful without our great volunteers and plant contributions.

We will be back in early September with our Fall Plant Sale  for fall perenials and house plants.

Summer Hiatus

We will be taking a break from formal meetings and presentations for the summer but will be back in September. There will be volunteer opportunities during the summer at Lee Boltwood Park.
