Pandemic Perusal Virtual Garden Tour

This is our first and only indoor meeting of 2021.  It will be FREE and we will be giving out 2021-2022 membership cards for FREE.  So please come early (doors open at 6:30pm) to line up (with proper distancing we will likely need to line up outside) and get your new membership card.

Up first on the agenda will be the much anticipated “Pandemic Perusal,” a slideshow showcase of Quadra gardens, organized and beautifully arranged by professional garden photographer Allan Mandell.  When you can’t go on an in-person garden tour, seeing it on the big screen with music is the next best thing, right?

Next up, our cherished local gardening expert Eileen MacKay will be pontificating on what she learned this summer about gardening in hot weather.  Please feel free to share your learnings as well, particularly about fruits and veggies and what spells success.

We will also have our usual Show and Tell Table where you get to show off your flowers, fruits, veggies, and preserves, and a Plant Sale Table for seeds and plants (please bring any you have to share) that you can buy for a donation to the Garden Club.
