June Update

Hello Fellow Gardeners!

We had an excellent meeting at Carol's house - she provided a lovely tour of her gardens and a sneak peak at her house (hers is one of the 10 houses on the Pultneyville Historical Society's House Tour - http://www.pultneyvillehistoricalsociety.org/pages/news_feat.htm).

At our member's meeting:
1. The PHS House Tour is on Saturday, June 14th. We will be donating a vase of flowers for each house. Please take a look at your gardens to see what you think you can donate to the cause. We have some vases but if you have vases to donate, let me know. Kris Jorolemon will be donating her artistic skills in creating a small card/sign to go with each vase.

I will be sending another email next week for a day to get-together and create the vases (probably Thursday the 12th).

2. One of the houses is looking for garden club members to help out on the 14th. What would work best would be two people in the morning and two people in the afternoon. If you are interested, email me or Carol Hopkins and let us know which time would work best for you.

3. Shirley Schulze will be our point person for the Mike Orr Greenspace. She will meet with him to find out how he would like to proceed with the Greenspace.

4. I received a great response to the request for watering the planters. Thank you for your enthusiasm to do so! There are a few weeks (maybe 3 or 4) that have not yet been taken. If you can take one week to water, let me know.

Finally, I am very excited to announce that our June lecture will be at Audrey Ferris's garden on Tuesday, June 24th, at 6:30. Those of you who went last year know what a spectacular garden she has and how wonderful it was to walk around and see all the gorgeous flowers (roses and then some!). Hold the date as it will be an amazing experience!

Happy Gardening!
