April - Members Meeting

Happy Spring! After the invigorating talk on vegetable gardening last week, Eric and I ended up planting some cold-hardy plants such as lettuce, spinach and beets. Our pea vines are starting to poke their heads out and growing so it is definitely feeling like springtime!

Just a reminder that we have our members meeting. I'm excited to let you know that Laurie VanNorstrand, from Cornelle Cooperative, is going to come to our meeting to help us talk/plan our 2010 project. She was a great help last year in planning the Green Space and I'm looking forward to asking her questions and learning from her.

In addition, we will try to discuss these items also. If you have more, let me know and I'll add them to the agenda.

Also we have our members meeting next Wednesday, April 21st at the Williamson Library's small meeting room. (For the bookworms amongst us, the Library is holding their book sale so come early to buy books!).

Items so far:

- Plan for the Apple Blossom Festival

- Plan for downtown/town hall planters including watering schedule

- Plan for 2010 project (raised beds near "Welcome to Williamson" signs)

- Update on Garden tours for the summer

- New residents packages/Chamber of Commerce

- PR/Marketing/new member drive

- Green space update

If you have other items you'd like us to discuss, let me know and I'll include it in the agenda.
