EMHS December 2023 Newsletter

 

Eastern Michigan Hosta Society
December 2023 Newsletter

Note from the President- I want to thank the following people for opening their gardens for our summer tours this year; Rick & Nancy Stout in Oxford, Piechnik’s Garden Gate in Oakland Charter Twp., Jim Pabst in Fenton, Paul Laidler and Bonnie Vander-Muellen in Fenton, Carolyn Koning in Davison, Carrie & Kelly Williams in Davison, and Tina Metzger in Davison.  For their generosity each household will receive one year membership for free.   I have updated the Directory to reflect this.

The Japanese Maple Color Tour at Pace Gardens on October 14^th was not a colorful tour, but the weather was perfect.  Mother Nature is proving she is the boss.   I will try to post pictures of the color change of the Japanese Maples to the EMHS blog once they are in full color.

 

The EMHS Board will be meeting on November 9^th for our Annual Board Meeting to discuss EMHS’s 2024 meetings.   If any member has suggestions for speakers, topics, or other future plans, please contact any Board Member to notify us of your suggestion. 

 

I will be sending out the updated EMHS Directory with this Newsletter email.   Please open the file on a computer instead of a phone so it is in a readable format.   Also, please print this out for yourself so you have the information.   This is a seven-page document so I cannot afford to print it out for all members.   The other suggestion would be to download the file and keep it in your documents file so you have it available.   The Directory is only for your own personal use and is not to be shared.

 

Please note the dates of our 2024 meetings and mark them on your calendar so you keep the dates available.

 

We will have our traditional Potluck and Gift Exchange at the December 14, 2023 Christmas Party.   Details of the party are below under the “Next Meeting” heading. 

 

Please keep the EMHS blog URL handy as an easy way to see the latest Newsletter, see all previous Newsletters, and to check for any updates about EMHS as it is available 24/7.   That is where I post first before sending out any information.   The next meeting is posted on the right-hand side of the blog.  The URL is https://easternmichiganhostasociety.blogspot.com

 

We hope to see everybody at the December 14^th Christmas Party!

 

Sincerely,
Glen Pace
EMHS President

 

Next Meeting- December 14, 2023 at the Mayfield Twp. Hall, 1900 N. Saginaw, Lapeer, MI 48446.  This is our regular meeting place located just south of the point of M-24 and N. Saginaw, (the driveway just north of the Cemetery). 

The doors will open at 5:00 PM for decorating/Networking, Potluck Dinner at 6:00 PM, and Gift Exchange/Business Meeting at 7:00 PM. 

This annual event is always a lot of fun and a great way to end the year for the club.  The Club will provide the meat (ham) and table set-ups.  We do ask that everybody bring a dish to pass as this is our biggest potluck of the year. 

We will be doing the gift exchange as we have done in the past.  If you are interested in exchanging gifts, all you have to do is bring a wrapped non-gender-specific gift with a value of $10.  All the gifts will be laid at the back of the room and during the party we will call names from the sign-up sheet of the people who brought gifts.  When your name is called you go pick out a gift.  Nobody is required to bring a gift for the exchange, but if you do not bring one, please understand that you will not be able to place your name on the list to pick one out.  This is the only way to assure that all people who bring a gift will receive one.

EMHS September 14, 2023 Meeting Minutes

 

Eastern Michigan Hosta Society

September 14^th, 2023

Meeting Minutes

 

The Meeting – was held at Suncrest Pavilion in Lapeer. This was our annual plant exchange.

Networking/Potluck – 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.

Business Meeting – 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. 

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. 

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. 

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.

Treasurer’s Report – There was no treasurer's report available tonight.

Other Business – Barb Hunter has stepped down from being treasurer.  President Glen Pace asked the membership if anyone would please take the position.  No one volunteered. President Glen Pace said that he and Marlene Daniels the secretary, would take it on and get things in order, hoping someone might think it over and volunteer at the next meeting.

Calendar of Events – Our next meeting will be October 12^th the meeting will take place at Pace Gardens for a fall summer color tour of his beautiful trees. November there will be no meeting.  The annual board meeting will meet on November 9^th.  Our next meeting will be December 7^th at the Mayfield Twp. Hall and it will be our annual Christmas Party.

Annual Plant Exchange September 14, 2023

Note from the President- I want to thank the following people for opening their gardens for our summer tours this year; Rick & Nancy Stout in Oxford, Piechnik’s Garden Gate in Oakland Charter Twp., Jim Pabst in Fenton, Paul Laidler and Bonnie Vander-Muellen in Fenton, Carolyn Koning in Davison, Carrie & Kelly Williams in Davison, and Tina Metzger in Davison.  For their generosity each household will receive one year membership for free.   I have updated the Directory to reflect this.

Our Annual Plant Exchange is September 14^th at the Suncrest Pavilion in Lapeer.  We will start earlier than normal because of the shortening of daylight hours.  The Potluck will start at 5:00 PM.  The Annual Meeting will begin at 5:00 PM and the Plant Exchange will begin at 6:30 PM so we can be finished and have the pavilion cleaned up before dark.

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.   The exchange is not limited to plants;  Garden ornaments, garden tools, birdhouses, etc. are welcome.  Please bring something to put into the Exchange. 

 

This year the Plant Exchange drawing will be drawn totally at random.    Every current paid membership gets one chance in each round of the Exchange.   You can pay your $5.00 annual dues before the drawing if you are not current or want to join the club.   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.   Once every membership has had a turn in the first round, we will start a second round drawn at random again.   This process continues until no plants are left.  

 

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.    At every Plant Exchange there are plants left that a few of us have to load into our own vehicles and dispose of them.  

 

We will be having a potluck at 5:00 PM for those that want to 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 for any issues that members want to discuss.   The Plant Exchange will begin at 6:30 PM.       

 

I look forward to seeing you at the Suncrest Pavilion in Lapeer on September 14th.  

 

Sincerely,
Glen Pace
EMHS President

 

Next Meeting- Our next meeting will be on September 14^th, 2023 from 5:00 PM until the Pavilion is cleaned up after the Plant Exchange at the Suncrest Pavilion in Lapeer.   The address is 1455 Suncrest Drive, Lapeer, MI 48446.   The Pavilion is at the back of the Suncrest Nursing Facility.   For any that have never been to the Display Garden at Suncrest, be sure to arrive early to tour the gardens.   The Potluck will begin at 5:00 PM for those that want to participate.   The Annual Meeting will begin at 6:00 PM.   We will start the Plant Exchange drawing at 6:30 PM.

EMHS June 2023 Newsletter

 

Eastern Michigan Hosta Society
June 2023 Newsletter

Next tour is on Thursday June 8^th, 2023

 

Note from the President- Spring is here and instead of a spring like we would like with moderate daytime temps and cool nights, we are getting hot daytime temps and moderate nights and there has been no rain in weeks with none forecasted for the next ten days.   The drought is rough on plants that are coming out of dormancy and trying to push heavy amounts of new growth.   Thank goodness I have an outdoor well to keep things from succumbing to the drought. 

I am trying something new this year to help conserve ground moisture.   While at the Primrose Society meeting last month, one of the presenters said to leave the fallen leaves in place in the gardens.   I have always vacuumed up the leaves with my WORX vacuum/blower/shredder then spread them back onto the gardens.   The differences in the two being that the shredded leaves look much better and the plants get through the shredded leaves easier than whole leaves.  But, leaving the leaves whole saves a lot of work and time.

June starts our summer garden tour season.   For June we will visit the garden of Rick and Nancy Stout in Oxford.   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.    For those that have only ever been to the Clio location of Piechnik’s, you are in for a treat.   The Rochester location has so much more than the Clio store both in plant offerings and hard goods.   Sandy Vukonich has suggested a couple other places to stop so I will add those to the directions below.   The tour hours are 3:00 PM-7:00 PM.   You are free to start and finish at either end of the tour. 

Carolyn Pickard is 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.   The date Carolyn has chosen for the trip is Saturday September 9^th.   If you are interested in this trip, please use your phone and message Carolyn at 1-989-326-5946.  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.   This will be the Saturday before our September Plant Exchange on September 14^th.  

Our July tour will be in Fenton and Linden and the August tour will be in Davison.

We look forward to seeing you on June 8^th!
Glen Pace
Sincerely,
EMHS President
