Our first meeting of the new gardening season was held on March 8 in Camden Grange and Community Center.
A LARGE crowd of seasoned and beginning gardeners showed up to socialize with friends, meet new club members, and learn all about garden-seed starting techniques from club members Marlene and Stephanie – we managed to make a mini-mess with their amazing “soil blocker” machine.
We all grabbed up some free (!!) veggie and/or flower seed packets, courtesy of club member Norman (we are hoping he will return to the April meeting with more leftover seed packets), and we all thoroughly enjoyed a banquet of assorted snacks, biscotti and scones (courtesy of club member Russ) and not-enough chocolate delights.
Our next meeting is scheduled for 12 April, at 7 p.m. in the aforementioned Camden Grange and Community Center, 7 Camden Road, Elk.
Here are a few pictures of the meeting-in-progress, and a photocopy of the “soil blocker” instruction sheets, just in case you want to try/buy one yourself.
