Thank you to Margaret for hosting us in her garden, home of a magnificent maple tree. Mary Wheatley, President of the Master Gardeners, was the speaker.

We received seeds and native plants from Shannon’s garden!

Plant a fall bulb garden! Throw the bulbs up and plant them where they land. Naturalizing!

Scooter, recovering from back surgery, joined us to learn about lasagna gardening. Get rid of that clay! Mary Wheatley, our expert, was amazing!

Mary reviewed the process for dividing, trimming and planting Irises.
