SGC meeting notes
The Strathmore Garden Club met at Mundy this evening. We had a wonderful turnout of familiar and new neighbors! Paige brought fascinating pictures of an unexpected garden visitor (we'll post them soon). Shawnette brought bulbs to share and as people were mingling, posed a question to Steve and Maggie. It seems that something is damaging Shawnette's bulbs, so Maggie suggested that she try sprinkling cayenne pepper near the plants. Maggie deterred some determined squirrels and a ground hog with a good dose of cayenne. Maggie also shared lovely peonies and hostas.
Tina gave a quick overview of the blog. Members suggested potential links to local nurseries and greenhouses, and creating easily accessible format for upcoming events, private gardens, public gardens and more. If you want to add content to the blog you can either send posts to Tina who will post it for you, or can become an "author" and post directly to the blog. Tina will post a tutorial on how to navigate and post to the blog by next week. In the meantime, if you need help or have ideas, send Tina an email at quellever@aol.com. We look forward to seeing member author's posts in the coming days and weeks!
Steve shared information on an upcoming garden tour and plant sale (see post in the side bar and blog archive). He's working the tour and is available to answer questions and furnish advance sale tickets.
Members brainstormed ideas for speakers, topics, and "field trips" for upcoming meetings. As soon as we confirm our next meeting date, we will update the blog and send you an email. Also, if you have an idea for a meeting topic or outing, please send it to Maggie O.
Thanks to John DeMott for advertising our meeting in the neighborhood email. We look forward to seeing John and other neighbors on June 16th at the Strathmore-by-the-Park Homes Tour and Art on the Porches. If you don't have your rain barrels yet, you can attend a workshop up at Art on the Porches!
