Our monthly TCMG meeting will be TUESDAY, APRIL 14th at 6:00 p.m, in the auditorium of the Extension Service Building. The theme for our social repast is “LET’S DO IT WITH PECANS”. (April is National Pecan Month) Therefore, you are invited to bring your favorite pecan treat for us to “crunch & munch” in delight!
An experienced Master Gardener is needed at the Hillcrest Plant Sale this Saturday morning at 7:30. Please call Susan if you are available at 292-2677.
Please consider a short term project at Oakhill School. They will be building and planting a butterfly garden. The hard part of preparing the ground has been done. They will be enclosing the shape with stone and planting a number of wonderful plants to support our butterflies.
LOOKING FORWARD:
REMINDER: April 25 is our ANNUAL PLANT SALE in the auditorium of the Extension Service Building. In preparation and anticipation of another GRAND YEAR of sales, Sybil Phillips, Committee Chair, would like to call your attention to the following details:
* Bring lots of plastic grocery bags for the sale.
* We will meet at 2:00pm on Friday to set up.
* We will meet at 7:00am on Saturday to prepare for the sale which starts at 8:00am.
* Be available after the sale ends (at 2:00pm) to help clean up and pick up any left
over plants.
(Left over plants are usually divided among the clean up crew if the plants’ owner(s)
do not stay to take them back home.)
* Linda Baggett and Harold Phillips will receive and receipt funds during the sale.
* Jeanie Gray will coordinate volunteers for the sale according to the plant types they bring for the sale so that they can answer plant questions from customers.
Mrs. Sybil says, “We will probably have some plants at the sale that can not be found locally.”
