Ikebana flower arrangements from our garden

Quince (branches, from flower market) and Dalia (from my plot).


I planted Quince in my plot this Spring. It is still too small to use for arrangements. I hope it will grow big enough to make nice arrangements next Spring.

Great look!

Our garden looks just amazing!
Thank you, everyone, for your hard work and TLC.
Extra big thank you, Joe for getting new mulch to our entire garden!

Our next meeting- How about some BBQ?

It was suggested that we have our next meeting when the temps are slightly cooler.
Does 10:30 am April 24th work for most people? We have offers of potato salad and burgers and Fernando and Quin have offered their propane BBQ to us. We can beat the heat and have our lunch too! Please feel free to bring a pot luck item. I will furnish the hamburger and buns and a few Coronas too. Also a few new plants available- high card wins! There are some amarylis (pink lady) bulbs and some large 15 gallon shrubs available to anyone who wants them.

PLEASE SUPPORT ANNE SHAW'S PENNSYLVANIA GARDEN PLANT SALE MAY 1ST (12-4)AT 18TH AND PENNSYLVANIA STS. GOOD DEALS ON GREAT PLANTS FOR A GOOD CAUSE.
