Note from the President- This Newsletter is going to be very brief and to the point as I have been extremely busy and forgot to get a newsletter written last week.
First, I want to thank Barb Hunter for hosting the August Garden Tour. Barb’s gardens are such a beautiful place to visit that I am in hopes you all got the chance to visit during the tour.
The success of the Plant Exchange depends on the quality and number of plants donated to the exchange. High quality plants can be placed on the $5.00 table at the discretion of the donor of the plant. Rules of the exchange are given below. This meeting is always a blast and everybody leaves with new plants (sometimes many plants) to use in their own yard.
We hope to see you at the September Garden Tour and Annual
Plant Exchange at Sandy’s on September 10th.
Sincerely,
Glen Pace
EMHS President
