April 2025
Hello Members,
It is so nice to see all the signs of spring popping up everywhere, and I am hoping the deer will leave my spring bulbs alone after losing so many bulbs to them last year. It has been such a long cold winter, and with spring here, we are all looking forward to getting into our gardens.
Our “Spring into Bloom” plant sale on May 17th is in the works so I hope you have started some seedlings for the sale. The community has already been asking about our sale as they look forward to it every year. Please go through all those gently used garden tools that you no longer use or any items related to gardening that might be used for our sale, as well as any divided plants put into pots. Look for sign up sheets for any table you would like to volunteer for during the sale.
I hope you have marked your calendar for our Arbor Day celebration on April 22nd from 10 AM to 2 PM at the Wareham Library. The day will be a lot of fun and an educational experience for all.
The garden club will be hosting a small standard flower show in April 2026. We have not had a club flower show since 2016, and like our other big events, it will take a lot of planning. I will be asking for help to get a preliminary schedule started, so let me know if you would like to be involved with the planning. Next year’s design workshops will be geared around learning the techniques of the designs that will be in the flower show. Be sure to join in on as many of these workshops as possible.
I look forward to seeing you all at our upcoming April meeting on April 10th. I am sure you will enjoy our speaker, Debra Trickett, and her beautiful containers.
Judy Morgan, President
