October 21, 2009 meeting notes...

Meeting took place at the Barrington Library. We had 11 members in attendance.
Guest speaker: Jim Rivet
Subject: Putting Garden to Bed
Jim gave us helpful advice about fall/winter gardening. He gave us informational handouts for us to take home (Nancy has a few extra if you missed the meeting, I'll bring them in December). We had a question and answer period for specific gardeners questions. Jim has been a great asset to Barrington Bloomers with all the help putting together the town garden at the corner of rtes 125 and 9.We appreciate his hands on help and advice for the whole project.

Town Garden and Library Garden fall cleanup!
This is the time of year when we need help to clean up the dead and dried flowers/plants in the town garden and library gardens. Please make some time to come out and help on Sunday November 8th at 1:00pm. We'll split into two groups, one for the corner garden and the other for the library. Bring your shears, gloves, rakes, etc! Look forward to seeing you all there!!!
