Last year SLGC received $52.77 from Amazon because some of you signed us up as a recipient of donations on Amazon Smile. It is not a lot of money but if EVERYone who uses Amazon did it, it would be a nice donation. It only takes a moment to do so. Call Treasurer Suzy Hartford at 216/835-0363 if you want/need help doing so.
A Life Growing Plants
Betsy Kollman Bresky, a recipient of GCA’s Katherine M. Grosscup scholarship and resident of Zone X, was featured in the December eNews. SLGC was scheduled to have Betsy speak to us via Zoom last year but, as you may remember, she had the flu and had to cancel!
In the article, Betsy discusses some of her favorite holiday plants. She is a big fan of red and white cyclamen, which should keep blooming through Valentine’s day. Click here to read the article.
