<p class="ydpf00fa45bmsonormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Meeting</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> – was held at Suncrest Pavilion in
Lapeer. This was our annual plant exchange.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="ydpf00fa45bmsonormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Networking/Potluck</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> – 4:30 pm, set up for potluck,
sign in stroll through the gardens and look over plants brought for the
exchange. Everyone enjoyed a wonderful meal.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="ydpf00fa45bmsonormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Business Meeting</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> – started at 5:51 pm. President
Glen Pace welcomed everyone. Members were asked if there were any changes
that needed to be made to the May meeting minutes, there were none. Robin
Bratton made a motion to accept the May meeting minutes, Pat Maitland seconded
the motion. Members voted and passed the May meeting minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="ydpf00fa45bmsonormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Cathy
Hodgson was asked about the EMHS plant sale she was not prepared to give an
accounting. She said that next year we will have epimediums, hellebore
and several hosta for sale. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="ydpf00fa45bmsonormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Due
to lack of interest in the bus trip Carolyn Pickard had planned it was
cancelled. The members were asked how they felt about a spring plant
exchange, after some conversation the membership voted, and it passed.
The biggest question was where to have it at. Marlene Daniels suggested
we use the Suncrest Pavilion. Cathy Hodgson will check it out to see if it will
be available. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="ydpf00fa45bmsonormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">President
Glen Pace asked the people that had tours at their homes if they felt it was
successful and worth their time to get their gardens ready. All said it
was worth it and everyone seemed to enjoy the tours. One problem
that was brought up was lack of signs being available to get to the
gardens. President Glen Pace explained he was very busy and was sorry
that the signs were not put out. He suggested we buy more signs at the
price of $10.50 each and the participants in the garden tours take them home
with them and they would put them up the day of the tour. Mark Hanner made a
motion for the club to buy 10 signs at $10.50 each and Robin Bratton seconded
it. Membership voted and the motion passed. Sandy Vukonich suggested that sign
in sheets be available at every garden. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

treasurer. President Glen Pace asked the membership if anyone would
please take the position. No one volunteered. President Glen Pace said

order, hoping someone might think it over and volunteer at the next meeting.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Pabst in Fenton, Paul Laidler and Bonnie Vander-Muellen in Fenton, Carolyn
Koning in Davison, Carrie & Kelly Williams in Davison, and Tina Metzger in

will start at 5:00 PM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Annual
Meeting will begin at 5:00 PM and the Plant Exchange will begin at 6:30 PM so

year the Plant Exchange drawing will be drawn totally at random.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every current paid membership gets one
chance in each round of the Exchange.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
can pay your $5.00 annual dues before the drawing if you are not current or
want to join the club.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will also
have the $5.00 table where special plants will be placed so when your name is
drawn you can choose a plant from the open exchange or you can give $5.00 to
Cathy and choose a plant from the $5.00 special plant area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once every membership has had a turn in the
first round, we will start a second round drawn at random again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This process continues until no plants are

thing to remember is that we ask each member to stay until the end of the
exchange and take any plants they brought to the exchange that were not taken
during the exchange.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At every Plant

will visit the garden of Rick and Nancy Stout in Oxford.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have also spoken to Stan and Matt at the
Rochester store of Piechnik’s Greenhouse and have set up for us to visit their
location.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those that have only
ever been to the Clio location of Piechnik’s, you are in for a treat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Rochester location has so much more than
the Clio store both in plant offerings and hard goods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sandy Vukonich has suggested a couple other
places to stop so I will add those to the directions below.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tour hours are 3:00 PM-7:00 PM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are free to start and finish at either
end of the tour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

working on a trip to Dow Gardens and Dahlia Hill (both in Midland) and I will
group email the info to the membership as soon as I receive it from
Carolyn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The date Carolyn has chosen
for the trip is Saturday September 9<sup>th</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are interested in this trip, please
use your phone and message Carolyn at 1-989-326-5946.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She needs to get a count as to how many
people want to attend this as well as whether you want to carpool to Midland or
want to pay for a bus to drive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
will be the Saturday before our September Plant Exchange on September 14<sup>th</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

was going to come with multiple snow and ice storms during February and
March.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here at Pace Gardens I have had
Eranthis and Galanthus in bloom since February 10<sup>th</sup> and they have
been covered by snow and ice four times and tonight’s forecast is for another
4-6 inches of snow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These plants have
endured a lot of abuse by Mother Nature and they just keep showing their
resilience by their blooms being unscathed as soon as the snow melts off of them
yet again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another noteworthy plant
that has endured these storms is the Hamamelis or Witch Hazels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Arnold’s Promise Witch Hazel has been in
full blooms since the middle of February and although its blooms have been
covered in ice multiple times, they remain perfect when the ice melts
away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

experienced enough winter to even hope that we will not get more snow and most
likely in significant amounts. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So far
this winter I have only had to shovel off the greenhouse roof one time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is a job that is usually done 10-12
times each winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unless you are a
Michigan snow lover, chances are that you are enjoying the lack of snow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lack of snow and our typical hard
freezes also has its consequences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
lack of snow allows our plants to be subjected to the cold without the
insulative properties of snow pack, the plants tend to heave from the ground
and the chance of freeze damage to their crowns and growth tips is increased,
and plants tend to be more subjected to foraging damage by four legged
creatures when there is no snow cover.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another advantage to our typical winter is
that the extreme cold temperatures will kill off damaging insects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s just hope that we don’t see winter
arrive in March, April, and May.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

involved in the production of trees/conifers, chip budding/grafting and
lifting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

production area. Expanding the range of plants from just flowering shrubs, then
adding climbing plants, conifers and more recently grafted plants. Always
innovating and expanding. Melvyn still finds time to keep up with his hobbies,
camping, kayaking, biking, hiking, fishing, swimming and enjoying the outdoor
life. He also raises meat chickens and enjoys seasonal acting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Aaron Strouse for doing our first presentation since Covid started back in
2019.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aaron is always a welcome face
to our group and does a wonderful presentation every time he is our speaker. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also want to thank the following people for
hosting this year’s summer tours; Teresa Dillon, Michael Scherbovich, the
Native Plant Nursery, Karen & Larry Erickson, Janis and Dennis Pardeik,
Dawn and Gary Kendall, and Jim Slezinski.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As always, every garden we visit has something different to offer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year we got to see the spring garden
plantings of a butterfly garden, a beautifully manicured garden with a
fantastic array of miniature Hosta and other perennials, fantastic Daylily
gardens with fields of daylily hybridizers results, woodland gardens, ponds in
gardens and ones used for irrigation of the plants, and tropical gardens with
numerous Musa (banana) varieties as well as some rare cannas and other unusual
tropicals, and of course every garden had fantastic garden art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have not gone to these summer tours
you are really missing out on some unbelievable gardens and some of the kindest

spindle.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Orion Abode was a surprise treat for those that had never visited his
Gardens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Huge banana trees and many
tropical plants dominate the portion of the gardens near the house in the back
yard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jim has a wonderful collection of
rare and unusual conifers as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What
a beautiful place! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This year has not been the perfect growing
conditions for many of us with multiple weeks in a row of no rain.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I have had some tell me that this is the
best season they have ever had with their Hosta and that their Hosta are larger
this year than ever before.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It just depended
on which rain cells hit which area to give some much-needed rain.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">That being said, there is a Plant Exchange in
two weeks that if you have not dug and potted anything to bring to the Exchange,
you better do it ASAP.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The plants
brought to the Exchange need to be settled into the pot for a while or you will
be bringing a distressed plant.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The September meeting is the Annual Plant Exchange and remember,
please, no Ostrich Fern, Houttuynia, Painter’s Pallet, Bishop’s Weed, or any
other invasive plant.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The exchange is
also not limited to plants.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Garden
ornaments, garden tools, birdhouses, etc. are welcome.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Please bring something to put into the
Exchange.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This year the Plant Exchange drawing will be drawn totally at
random.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Every current paid membership
gets one chance in each round of the Exchange.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You can pay your $5.00 annual dues before the drawing if you are not
current or want to join the club.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We
will also have the $5.00 table where special plants will be placed so when your
name is drawn you can choose a plant from the open exchange or you can give
$5.00 to Cathy and choose a plant from the $5.00 special plant area.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Once every membership has had a turn in the
first round, we will start a second round drawn at random again.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This process continues until no plants are
left.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Another thing to remember is that we ask each member to stay until the
end of the exchange and take any plants they brought to the exchange that were
not taken during the exchange.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">At every
Plant Exchange there are plants left that a few of us have to load into our own
vehicles and dispose of them.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>

participate. For those that do not want
to participate in a potluck you can arrive at 6:00 PM when we will start the
Annual Meeting. The meeting portion
will include a Treasury update, Minutes from our last group meeting, and a time

We had another wonderful tour last month thanks to Karen & Larry Erickson, Janis
& Dennis Pardeik, and Dawn & Gary Kendall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All three gardens were beautiful and
hopefully an inspiration to all that visited them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since all three gardens had daylilies we got
to see some of the latest in the daylily hybridizer’s efforts to improve on the
orange “ditch lilies” we all know from driving through the country roads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The old orange ones have been turned into
just about any color you can imagine except a true blue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you again to the owners of these
spectacular gardens for sharing your time, your gardens, and for your GRACIOUS HOSPITALITY.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
August 11</span><sup>th</sup><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> tour will be in Lake Orion at the home of Jim Slezinski.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We will be going as a group to this garden
because Jim has another group coming on the same day and will be entertaining
all day long.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We will all meet at Jim’s
house at 3:00 PM and leave no later than 5:00 PM.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
name of Jim’s gardens is The Lake Orion Abode.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">He has been working on his gardens for 38 years and anyone who visits is
going to be amazed at the gardens but especially about his tropical
gardens.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Jim has added a pond with
streams to the gardens and a look-out deck that overlooks the gardens.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A suggestion by Jim is that if you see a
flower or plan t you want to ask about, take a picture with your phone so that you
can show him the picture to ask about it.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This alleviates the constant walking around to answer your questions.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We will be parking </span><u style="font-size: 12pt;">in his neighbor’s yard
BEHIND the white fence</u><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> and walking over to Jim’s yard.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">There is no room to park on the road so
please follow the signs for parking.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
directions to Jim’s are below in this newsletter.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Carpooling
is always suggested for the summer tours.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It saves on gas, parking space, and gives you time to discuss what you
have just seen during your visit.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It is
also suggested that you eat while on the road driving to the tour site and also
stop to use the bathroom while driving as none of these sites have a public
restroom.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Another
treat for the tour day is that Barb Hunter is opening her gardens for visitors and
sales from 9:00 AM until 2:00 PM then again after the tour at Jim’s for those
that want to gather for a party.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Barb will
collect money to order pizza.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Bring
your lawn chair and your favorite beverage and spend time sitting around and
talking.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I
look forward to seeing you at the Tour at Jim’s and afterwards at Barb’s.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>

A big thank-you goes out to Teresa Dillon and Mike Scherbovich for opening
their gardens on June 9<sup>th</sup> and hosting our first garden tour of
2022. I also want to thank Angela
Nelson of East Michigan Native Nursery for opening her nursery to us so we
could buy plants from her. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Teresa’s
garden was spectacular with a large variety of plantings.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Hosta and companion plants were beautiful
and the mini Hosta bed had some of the best grown minis I had ever seen.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Too bad the Martagons weren’t blooming
yet.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Once her Daylilies start blooming
her yard will be filled with flowers.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">I
fully intend to go back to Mike Scherbovich’s garden in mid-summer to take
pictures of a blooming butterfly garden and share them on the EMHS blog. Visiting his gardens in June one cannot see
the impact of this type of gardening, but once you see it all in flower and the
number of butterflies it attracts it will amaze you. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">The
July 14<sup>th</sup> tour will be in Clio and Flushing at the homes of Karen
and Larry Erickson, Janis and Dennis Pardeik, and Dawn and Gary Kendall. All three of these gardens will be filled
with Daylilies and should be in peak bloom at the time of our tour. Karen and Janis are avid Daylily hybridizers
so you will most likely get to see flowers that have not even been registered with
the Daylily Society. All three gardens
will also have Hosta and interesting plants as well as some unique yard art. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">At
the Erickson’s please pull to the back yard and the parking area will be
marked. At the Pardeik’s pull to the
top of the driveway and walk back down to the gardens near the pond and the
woodland garden on the south side of the driveway. At Dawn Kendall’s pull up the driveway to
park. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Carpooling
is always suggested for the summer tours.
It saves on gas, parking space, and gives you friends with which to
discuss what you have just seen at your last stop. It is also suggested that you eat while on
the road driving to the tour sites and also stop to use the bathroom while driving
as none of these sites have a public restroom. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Our
August 11<sup>th</sup> tour will be of Jim Slezinski’s gardens in Lake
Orion. Jim has tropical gardens that
will make you wonder how he can grow these plants in Michigan. He also has a pond with multiple waterfalls
and streams. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I
look forward to seeing you at the Tour in Clio & Flushing on July 14</span><sup>th</sup><span style="font-size: 12pt;">

Our last meeting of a potluck and reacquaintance meeting was a great time for
all of us to catch-up on the last two years of each other’s lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Getting to sit and talk with members that we

to think about is the possibility of making at least one of our indoor meetings
in the spring a “get-reacquainted” meeting where we will do just as we did for
the May meeting last month, a potluck and not have a speaker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our February meeting requires a speaker to
drive in February Michigan weather usually from a distant county.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This would give us a chance to discuss the
year’s events and plan for the rest of the year without taking time for a
speaker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can email me your
thoughts on this subject and I will compile the comments for the EMHS Board to
discuss at the November Board meeting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

June event is a Garden Tour on June 9<sup>th</sup>, 2022</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
in the Durand area. The Tour sites are
at the homes of Teresa Dillon, Mike Scherbovich, and Angela Nelson’s business,
East Michigan Native Plants. Bring cash
with you for the East Michigan Native Plants site as Angela will be selling
plants. The time frame for the tour is
3:00 PM until 7:00 PM. Please adhere to
this time frame to be courteous to the owners.
Car pooling is suggested to alleviate parking issues. <b>All EMHS Members, Friends, and any Guests
are welcome to attend the tour.</b>
Below you will find the Directions to the tour sites. Please remember to use the restroom on your
way to the tour sites as there are not public restrooms at these owner’s
homes. As per the EMHS Board decision
last year, there will be no meeting or potluck at the summer tours. Bottled water will be provided by the owners
of the two garden sites, but it is suggested that you have your favorite soft
drink in the care with you since our summer garden tours are usually a bit of a
drive for most and in the heat of summer.
Dehydration can make you feel weak, tired, and can be deadly if your
electrolytes are affected severely.
Keep in mind what lack of water does to your favorite plants in your
garden, then apply that thought to your own health. </span></p>

EMHS Membership has voted to have our first in-person meeting since COVID
started.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, on April 14<sup>th</sup>,
2022 we will have a <b>Mandatory Mask, No Potluck Meeting</b> at the Mayfield
Township Hall in Lapeer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our speaker
will be Aaron Strouse who will present “Isle Royale, My Journey”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aaron has done multiple presentations for
EMHS including Michigan’s Native Orchids, Michigan Native Wildflowers, and
Michigan’s Waterfalls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is a
fantastic speaker and an excellent photographer that always brings photos from
his presentation to sell while he is at our meeting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What a way to celebrate our first meeting,
we get to see one of our own state’s treasures through Aaron’s camera lens.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This being our first in-person sit down
meeting, I know the membership is going to need time to visit before the
meeting starts.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Therefore, we will open
the doors at 5:00 PM for networking and the presentation will begin promptly at
6:00 PM.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Wearing a </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">mask is</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">mandatory</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> for
this first meeting.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The EMHS Board will
monitor the adherence to this mask mandate and ask any who do not follow the
rule to leave the meeting.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We will discuss the May meeting plans at the
April meeting, but my current plan for the May meeting is to have no speaker,
reintroduce our potluck as we always knew it, and to do no more than to enjoy
seeing each other without masks, with our legendary potluck, and catch up on
each other’s lives over the past two years.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is of course pending on that there is not another surge in the
COVID virus cases.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><o:p> T</o:p></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">he rest of the meetings for 2022 have also
been planned with only the June meeting not quite finalized.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For the summer we will be touring gardens of
both EMHS members and EMHS friends.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You
can plan on seeing gardens that we have never visited before and all of them
are going to be a treat.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The year’s
plans will be presented at the April meeting.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Since we had no meetings in 2020 or 2021 the
Membership dues were waived for these two years per a vote of the EMHS Board.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Marlene and I have gone through the
membership records and have updated the Membership directory membership
dates.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Please review the directory and
check your status.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If the year is in
red next to your name, you need to pay dues.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Such as, if you see </span><span style="color: red; font-size: 12pt;">2021</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">, it means that
the last dues you paid were in 2019 and because we gave you credit for 2020 and
2021 your dues need to be paid for 2022.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Dues are still only $5.00 per household per year.</span></p>

gardens that we had never toured before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A huge thank you goes out to Paul Laidler, Ken & Jan Zawisa, and
Elin & Bob Bastianelli for sharing their wonderful gardens with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Paul has a fantastic collection of Hosta
with one that Barb and I think he needs to get into tissue culture and a stone
wall that he built himself over a ten-year period that is a sight to behold!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ken and Jan Zawisa have a garden that is
built on a hill and the gardens surround the house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The storm that hit us the night before the
tour brought down trees in their yard and took out their power, but they still shared
their beautiful gardens with those of us that dared to tread the flooded
roads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Best Wishes for them to get the
stairway to the deck replaced after the tree took it out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Elin’s shade garden is built at the back of
the property in the edge of the woods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She has many plants that came from the woods she is gardening in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The mini deer ferns she has planted along
certain pathways are adorable and came from the parts of the woods she has
cleared for the gardens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her husband
Bob keeps one of the most immaculate lawns I have ever seen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All three properties were fantastic places to
visit and see just what others do to suit their own taste in shade gardening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We will discuss the thought processes of the Board decisions at the

will also have the business portion of the meeting before the Plant Exchange
begins.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For the Plant Exchange meeting
we will have bottled water, Iced Tea, and if members want to bring cookies,
they are welcome to do so.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">We will <u>not</u>
be having a potluck.</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The September meeting is the Annual Plant Exchange and remember, please,
no Ostrich Fern, Houttuynia, Painter’s Pallet, Bishop’s Weed, or any other
invasive plant.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The exchange is also
not limited to plants.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Garden ornaments,
garden tools, birdhouses, etc. are welcome.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Please bring something to put into the Exchange.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This year the Plant Exchange drawing will be drawn totally at
random.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Every paid membership gets one chance in each
round of the Exchange.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We will also
have the $5.00 table where special plants will be placed so when your name is
drawn you can choose a plant from the open exchange or you can give $5.00 to
Cathy and choose a plant from the $5.00 special plant area.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Once every membership has had a turn in the
first round, we will start a second round drawn at random again.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This process continues until no plants are
left.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Another thing to remember is that we ask each member to stay until the
end of the exchange and take any plants they brought to the exchange that were
not taken during the exchange.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Every Plant
Exchange there are plants left that a few of us have to load into our own
vehicles and dispose of them.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>

tour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both gardens are fantastic and I
even got to see a Hosta I had to acquire for my own garden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hosta “Etched Glass” in Joyce’s garden is
one of those Hosta you can recognize from a distance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I found it at Piechnik’s Greenhouse the
plants did not have the same variegation pattern, but I bought it anyway in
hopes that the difference from Joyce’s plant is because of fertilization at a
retail greenhouse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A picture of Joyce’s
plant is on the EMHS blog.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

addresses and directions are listed below.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Since we have three gardens to visit, I have gotten the approval of all
three hosts to extend the tour hours.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">All three gardens will be open for viewing from 2PM until 7PM.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">We will <u>not</u> be having a potluck,
