Heirloom apples at the May 12 meeting

We will assemble at Camden Grange at 7 p.m. on the 12th of May for our monthly meeting.  Our guest speaker is Dave Benscoter, who specializes in finding and re-establishing heirloom apple species – you may have seen the big article in the Spokesman-Review newspaper on 30Apr15 on his recent find of the "Nero" apple tree at an old (1888) homestead near Steptoe Butte.  Dave is a good source of apple knowledge/trivia, and knows a lot about the "old days" of apples. Be sure to bring apple-related questions, and maybe an apple pie or two.

We will also talk about Saturday's Garden Expo experiences and lessons, and share some group hugs over this year's garden weather challenges.

Everyone is encouraged to bring their favorite treat/snack, and the club will provide beverages.

I would like to personally thank the Expo helpers, who made the day fun and successful. 

Jim
