Our next meeting will be Thursday,
May 15th at 6:30 pm at St. Luke Church, Lightstreet.
This meeting is our annual fundraiser,
the Guild Plant Sale, open to members only. The Herb of the Month will be Chamomile, studied by Valerie E.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks to our April program speaker, Vanessa DeVett, owner of The Petite Garden, Mifflinburg. We learned about growing microgreens and compared a variety in a tasting activity with the Guild.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please arrive early if you are donating plants to
our Plant Sale so the committee has time to sort.
Be sure to label each with: Plant Name, Date Potted, Name of Grower and Growing Preferences (Sun/Shade/Watering Frequency).
Questions? Call or email Linda B.
