If you're like me, you love our seasons and January is a time to rest from all the gardening work of last summer while looking forward to spring! Many of us enjoy our houseplants now more than ever and what an appropriate time to have a program on how to keep them thriving! I hope you'll join our next member's meeting on Jan 24 at Hallie Stewart's home- please rsvp using the Sign up genius link in this newsletter.
What's the news? What did you hear over the garden gate? Has your contact information changed since the new Directory was published? Who heard what? Who has learned something to share with us? Who has a great new idea? Who loves to share the miracles of nature? It's all here!
With the sudden very cold temps in late November, our gardens are definitely in sleep mode! Although, if you’re like me, you still have a few bulbs to plant- yikes!
GCA’s 2023 Annual Meeting Flower Show, Where the Wild Things Are, will be hosted by Zone X. The oblong scarf, which benefits the meeting, features iconic flora and fauna native to Ohio, Indiana and Michigan and is available in two colorways, blue/green and black/white.
It’s that time of year again to visit the annual Garden Holiday Show at Cleveland Botanical Gardens, November 19 through December 31 to see the decorated trees, wreaths, floral displays and gingerbread houses!
This year we have a bumper crop of books for children of all ages; usually my choices of nature books tend toward picture books for the very youngest. It was a pleasure to find so much variation to recommend this time!!
Dear Ladies, it is that time of the year again – the time for me to think about all of the gardening books I have ordered for myself this year, and which ones I shall recommend to you as gifts for your gardening friends, or mostly for yourselves if you are like me.
Kindly check your mail for this year’s Charitable Projects and Grosscup Scholarship donation form. Last year, over 70% of our gracious members donated to the fund, and we were able to give a record amount to our community.
As we are moving into 2023 and begin planning our gardens, let’s consider a conservation approach. At our November meeting, I shared a brochure developed by Doug Tallamy, an entomologist, ecologist, and conservationist who encourages all to create biodiversity by turning our yards into a “Homegrown National Park”. Let’s move forward by championing Native Plants that encourage the regeneration of our wildlife.
