We hope you will join The Garden Club of Weaverville for Our June 2023 Meeting
Tuesday, June 13th at 9:30 on the covered porch at the new Weaverville Community Center
Program: Gardening Tips, Q&A and Plant Exchange
Please bring your gardening wisdom and plants (or a list of plants) you would like to share to this interactive meeting.
A brief business meeting will precede the interactive program.
Instead of having a formal presentation this month we will informally share useful gardening tips & have the opportunity to seek advice from fellow gardeners. After the discussion forum, we will focus on sharing the bounty of our gardens and enjoying being together.
Bring plants to share, or a list of the plants that you’d like to share.
Each person with plants to share will briefly tell the group about what they have to share.
Please label plants if possible. If a cultivar, try to include the name of the variety. (Ex: Echinacea ‘Tomato Soup’)
Please go around the outside of the building to take your plants to the patio.
