Our next meeting will be on Thursday, May 21st,
6:30 pm, at St. Luke Church in the Social Hall. This is our annual Plant Auction which is our only fundraiser. This event is limited to members only.

Guests and non-members are welcome to join us for the June Picnic at the Bloomsburg Christian Church on Deussen Drive.

The Herb of the Month for May will be Sweet Woodruff presented by Cynthia S.

Please remember to bring your place setting for
snacks after the meeting. Also bring plants to donate
for the Plant Auction early so the committee can sort them. The Wish List is on the Programs Web Page.

Remember to label your plant care tags and bring your address labels to bid on plants at our silent auction. Small bills are helpful (no $20's) to make
your purchases if you win. A box to haul your plants
to the car is also helpful.
