Our garden club operated a booth during this year's community celebration, Elk Pioneer Days, on the 16th of June. The weather did not initially cooperate, with rain sprinkles and wind in the morning, but the temperatures, and the crowds soared for the remainder of the day. Our sister organization, the Backyard Beekeepers operated the booth next door, and we were able to offer information to the public on gardening, composting (handouts and posters, courtesy of Master Composter/club member Laurie Woicik), and pollination. A big "thank you" to the club members who helped in the booth: Diane, Jane, Laurie W., Pat, and yours truly. Another big "thank you" to the folks who donated plants for the booth: Carolyn, Su, Lauri C., Barbara, Marylee, and Pat. All in all, a pretty nice day.
Also, watch for the official tan-colored Elk Pioneer Days t-shirt, being worn by all our style-conscious neighbors: our garden club helped sponsor the shirts, and our name proudly appears on the lower back - about where the pain appears from a day of weeding in the garden.
