Notes and reminders

Camden Grange pancake breakfast and auction is on Saturday,  April 21: BIG breakfast from 8-10 a.m., then the auction proceeds from 10 a.m. The event benefits OUR Grange, so please donate something (you can call Mary Lee Rozelle at 509-292-2492 for more details or to arrange a donation pick up or drop off), or show up to eat and then bid on some cool items.

The Pend Oreille County Master Gardeners will hold their annual plant sale Saturday, April 28, from 9 a.m. to noon, in the Stratton Elementary gymnasium (1201 W. Fifth St., Newport). This is THE place to purchase your garden, flower, shrub and tree starts, and you will be able to ask gardening questions of people who actually know what they are talking about!

The next garden club meeting is on Tuesday, May 8, and we will definitely have a better seating arrangement for all 35 (!) or more of us. We will have a class on something garden-ish, so stay tuned for further details; and yes, we did have EXCELLENT snacks for the April meeting - thank you!

Garden Expo at Spokane Community College is Saturday, May 12, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with over 250 vendors. It's a great place to buy almost any plant or garden thing you can conceive, so bring a cart or wagon, and some money.

Elk Pioneer Days garden club booth is a happenin' thing, so let me know if you want to sit in the park on June 16 for a couple of hours - we will have a rotating roster of members to recruit, amuse, and annoy our neighbors, and maybe sell a few plants (perennials, fruit bushes, herbs, flowers, etc. - if you are growing some for yourself or others, you might want to consider donating a few to the club?), and answer a few garden-related questions.
