Plants for Community Service Projects

 

Save some of your water garden plants and perennials for our 2003 community service project.  The club members usually donate almost all the plants for the project.  Let Larry Arrowood know what plants you have.  We can still use a few at last year’s project in Slater.  Let Denise Cantlin (660-529-2161) know if you have plants for there.

 

May Plant Exchange

 

Plan to attend the plant exchange on May 15.  Bring any type of annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, water garden plants or house plants.  Be sure to attend even if you do not have plants to exchange.  We always have extra plants to give away. It’s a good chance to get lots of different plants from your gardening friends and share your extras.  Plan to attend!
