Read MoreI recently enjoyed a wonderful trip to England and Scotland. While walking in an old part of London, I stopped to admire a particularly gorgeous, and eye catching, window box. One of our members, Jennifer Wey, makes beautiful containers and I try to send her inspirational photos from time to time. Next to this container was an award plaque. It was from “The Worshipful Company of Gardeners”. I loved it. It could easily be a suitable description of our club and all its members. We are a wonderful company of talented women—some are expert horticulturists, some are imaginative designers, some are extraordinary photographers, and some are creative geniuses in the botanic arts—all of us are volunteers. Thank you for all that you do to make our club a vibrant organization.

Read MoreAugust’s Visiting Gardens was a celebration of the flower. First we were greeted by Karen Colini and her two daughters, Katie and Mary, and a gaggle of ducks at Sweetbay Flower Farm. As we walked between the rows and rows of flowers we could focus on the beauty of each bloom and we understood the amount of work they committed to the garden's creation.
Read MoreFall is approaching and soon some of our members will be lighting fires in their fireplace or in a wood-burning stove. That made me wonder, “Is wood ash good for my garden?” The answer, of course, depends. Wood ash is alkaline, so if you have acid soil, adding wood ash to your compost or to your garden could be helpful as long as it comes from untreated wood. It is a fine idea to test your garden rather than guess what your soil conditions are. Soil test kits are readily available from the county extension service and can also be found on line.
