Williamson Garden Club Update

Hi Fellow Gardeners -

The weather has been great for taking care of our gardens and it looks like this weekend is going to be wonderful to be outside. It's hard to believe that it's the end of September, with all the greenery and growing flowers!

A couple of items:

1. If anyone has annuals that are actually "hardy perennials" (they would survive in warmer climates) such as geraniums, gerbera daisies, dahlias, etc. and are planning on getting rid of them, please consider donating them to the Garden Club. We can overwinter them and use them in the public areas next year. You can contact myself or John.

If you have perennials that you are thinking of getting rid of (or "shovel pruning" as my husband likes to say), again please consider contacting the Garden Club as we may be able to use them.

2. Just a reminder that there is going to be an Informational Meeting on the NYS Route 104/21 Gateway study. The meeting is tonight - Thursday, September 27 - at the First United Methodist Church, 4146 East Main Street from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. The evening will consist of a formal presentation followed by an informal gathering. The consultant team will provide an overview of the project and its timeline, a summary of what they have learned to date, and discuss some of the preliminary ideas that have been generated by the process. During the informal session, residents and business owners will have an opportunity to exchange ideas directly with engineers, planners, and designers that are here to help us achieve our vision.

As many of you know, the Williamson Garden Club grew out of the first Charrette meeting (thanks to the hard work of John Ferrante) and it is exciting to see the progress that has been made since that first meeting!

Happy Gardening!
