hello Gardeners! I can't believe it's the end of April already. I wanted to send an email as May is going to be coming at us fast and furious and we have some things coming up soon.
1. I think most of our snowbirds are home (welcome back and thanks for bringing back some sun!). I'd like to set up a set date for our members-only meetings. I'd like everyone to send me days that DON'T work for meetings - for example, the Charrette meets on the first Thursday of every month or the Historical Society meets every first Tuesday of every month, etc. I realize not everyone is going to be able to make our meetings but I'd like to make sure I'm not conflicting with other things, if possible.
2. Drag out your calendars - we have a few things going on in May.
a. Main Street and Town Hall planters - Because of a prior commitment, Eric and I are not available Saturday, May 9th. Instead of doing the planters on Saturday, we're planning on doing the planters on Friday, May 8th. Eric is coordinating with Mason Farms and we're thinking of meeting around 6:30-7:00ish. Please let me know if you think you can help out so we can plan accordingly.Perry - do you think you can ask the VP at the school if kids would be available to help us?
b. If you are free on Saturday, May 9th, they are doing a Clean Sweep in the morning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. As you know, our town has looked amazing for Apple Blossom Festival due to the hard work of the volunteers during the Clean Sweep.
c. Apple Blossom Festival - Saturday, May 16thwe are fortunate enough to have gotten permission to set up where we did last year, near Meddy's Musings/the old Fire Hall. Instead of having only a few people watching the tent the entire day, I'd like to try to set up volunteers throughout the day. If you can volunteer to watch the tent, even for an hour, please let me know.
i. If you have plants to donate and need pots, let me know as I have extra pots to donate. I think we're going to set up the night before so plants can be dropped off the night before.
ii. we are very lucky again this year. The Sodus Garden Club is having their plant sale on Saturday morning. They will be donating any remaining plants to us after 12:00. Eric has offered to go and pick them up.
3. Typically our May event is the planter plantings and Apple Blossom. I received an email from the Master Gardener program. Would anyone be interested in an event later in May? If so, I'll talk to the coordinator and see if we can set something up.
4. Scott will be sending out a letter soon regarding dues. if you have not yet paid your dues (or can't remember when you last paid dues), please feel free to contact him. Dues are still $10 for the year.
5. Finally, we need to meet to talk about the Green Space. The bulbs that Shirley planted last year are starting to come up and look really great. I think, after the Apple Blossom Festival, we should meet to talk about what we want to do with that space.
*whew* okay I think that's it for now. I am planning on setting up a meeting in May but it will probably be after the Apple Blossom festival.
Happy Gardening!
