July Event

Hello Fellow Gardeners!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful today playing in their gardens. The weather is just gorgeous for a fun day outside.

I am very excited to announce that our July event this year is a daylily tour at Joyce Leimberger's gardens. As many of you who attended Parker Zach's gorgeous daylily tour last year may remember, Joyce's garden was the starting point of Parker's love of daylilies. Joyce is a passionate gardener with extensive knowledge of daylilies and a keen eye for mixing colors and textures. Her daylilies are unbelievable - so many different colors and textures Bring your camera because they are a sight to see!

The tour will be Thursday, July 23, at 7pm.

This is free to the public so feel free to forward to other interested gardeners. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Happy Gardening!Subrata

----------------------------------

In other news, Eric and I went to the CoC meeting last night. There was an excellent response to the request for paint donations and volunteers to paint the Chinese Restaurant wall. All the paint and the filler have been covered through donations, even though Mike Orr was willing to dip into BID money in case it wasnt' covered. The CoC simply needs to get the top part filled in and painted and then will let the volunteers know when they are needed for painting. I will keep you posted.

Secondly, from Lorraine
"in exciting news, the Chamber received permission from Mr. & Mrs. DiGiulio, the owners of the cobblestone garage on Main Street to do a clean-up on the property! We are very pleased that this could be worked out to benefit them and our community!!
We are asking any adult that would volunteer one hour of their time to help pull/cut weeds to please contact Lorraine Mason or the Chamber or Mike Orr of the BID. We are only asking for an hour...whatever you achieve in that hour is your donation to the community project.
We also approached the DiGiulio's about the Chamber and the BID freshening the paint on the building. We are waiting to see if this is a possibility.
PLEASE...consider helping...these types of projects show community spirit, pride and our willingness to help others!
Thanks for the consideration!!!"

Happy Gardening!

Daylilies are reaching their peak right now, and they will be featured at two events in Monroe County:

- More than 650 varieties of daylilies can be seen during free tours of Enchanted Gardens, an American Hemerocallis Society official national display garden, this month and next.
