Note from the President- The plants from the EMHS Annual Plant Sale
will be delivered at the May 12th meeting. If you ordered plants please plan on picking
them up at the meeting. If you are not
going to be able to pick up plants you ordered, be sure to call Glen and make
arrangements for somebody else to pick up your plants for you. The
plants are bare rooted and you will need to get them potted or planted
ASAP. I will have the orders bagged with
names on them to facilitate quick retrieval of the orders.
Spring is finally here…..maybe? Even as of last week I had frost on two
separate mornings. No plants were killed
by the frost, but some leaves were affected.
The forecast does not show any freezing temps in the near future so
maybe we can go ahead and start planting this year’s new plants.
See you at the May 12th meeting,
Glen Pace

Consider Hosting an EMHS Meeting- above you see the EMHS 2016 calendar
of events with a number of openings for meeting places. We ask that you consider hosting a summer
garden meeting at your garden. Sharing
our gardens is a way for all of us to learn; we get ideas for new plantings,
insect control, garden art, and learn how other gardeners express themselves
through their gardens. We all have
something to share, please share your knowledge with the rest of us.
Bob Solberg- Per a request made by Bob Solberg we
will postpone obtaining him for a speaker until 2017.
Name Badges- If you need one of the new EMHS name
badges, please put your printed name
on the sign-up sheet at any meeting or you can email Glen with your
request. Glen will try to have your name
badge at the next meeting.

members and the community.
