Monday night gardening talk series in the City of Rochester

This year we (finally) have the opportunity to attend the Sodus Garden Club's plant sale. As you know the Sodus Garden Club has generously donated their after-sale plants to our club during the Apple Blossom Festival for the last couple of years. This year, they will be having their sale on Saturday, May 22 starting at 9 am on Rt. 88 in front of the Primary School. I would highly recommend that you come at 9 as they have some amazing plants for sale every year.

Subject: Monday night gardening talk starts series of ten in the City

Hello Fellow Gardeners! I will be doing a series of free gardening talks at ten different locations in the City, beginning tomorrow night (Monday) at Cornell Cooperative Extension, in their auditorium from 7-8pm. These workshops will be rather free wheeling, based on the questions people bring, plants they bring for identification, and materials that I bring. It will be show and tell, rather than Powerpoint. Tomorrow night I will bring tiny Hardy Cyclamen seedlings for people - mine have been blooming since the snow departed, and they will continue through much of May.

No need to RSVP if you are not coming, but if you are, let me know so I can bring enough seedlings for people. They are tiny and delicate, but the price is right! I hope you can join me for one or several of these workshops. Some are on Monday evenings and others are on Saturday afternoons. They are listed in the Flower City Looking Good brochure, along with dozens of hikes, bike rides and other gardening/nature related events in Rochester. Look for the brochures in libraries or I would be happy to send you one.

Keep your eyes open for the first Tulip and first Lilac of 2010 - the final two categories in First in Bloom. Details on the other 9 categories already awarded, are at www.SavourLife.com under Naturally Green. Also Bristol's Garden Center is having their Spring Open House on April 10 & 11, I'll be there to broadcast on April 10. Then I will also be broadcasting from the Broccolo Earth Expo at Cooperative Extension on April 17 from 9-4pm - a free event.
