March Events and Updates

Hi Fellow Gardeners!

Just an update before our members meeting in mid-March.

1. No news on the Fiskars Grant yet but we will let you know as soon as we hear.

In the meantime, we came across a grant for a Mantis Tiller. It had a really quick turnaround (March 1st) so Eric and I (with help from our advisor, Penny) pulled something together and sent it off on Friday. If you want information on it, check this out http://www.kidsgardening.com/grants/mantis-criteria.asp.

If you come across other grants that you think might be of interest, please let us know.

2. The Sodus Garden Club sent an invite for their March lecture. "All about Bees" presented by Mary Moss, Master Gardener. Wednesday, March 19th, at 7pm. Parish Center-Church of the Epiphany, West Main & Newark St., Sodus. For more info: 483-4740. It looks to be a very interesting lecture.

3. At our upcoming members meeting on March, I thought we could talk about
- Spring planting/Town Planters
- Chamber of Commerce membership
- Gateway to Pultneyville - Garden Project
- Friends of the Garden Club - we got our first Friend!
- Learning Fair
- High school students
- Peony catalog offer
If you have other thing to discuss, let me know and I'll add them to the agenda.

I'll send a reminder closer to our members meeting.

Happy Gardening!
