Meeting Notes for March 18, 2009

12 members in attendance!

Lauren Chase Rowell- speaker
Gardening at the waters edge & Water gardens
After having technical difficulties we had a quick video of gardening ideas and how utilizing natural substances right in your yard is better for the environment. Lauren answered questions from members, and did a wonderful job with the time she had. Thanks also to the library staff and Dave , Nancy's husband for coming to the rescue.

Merrymeeting Gardens is being moved to May 20th. We will be doing container gardening, bring up to four containers and we will purchase plants and soil from Amanda Turner. The homework assignment is to look for magazine ideas for container plants to bring with you for the meeting.

April 15th we will be having a pot luck at Michelle's house. Bring a dish and a favorite garden tip or tool to share with everyone. Time will be 6:30.

Town garden press release has gone out for finding an artist sculpture to be displayed for a year in the Town Garden. We will have an unveiling of the sculpture on May 17th.

Sign for garden is still in design. Donation pots: we will be having a Lindy arts and crafts meeting to decoupage the pots. To be announced.

We will be setting up for a silent auction at the library's plant sale on June 6th. It will be for a container planting from our field trip to Merrymeeting Gardens (hanging planter? or hypertufa?).

The NH arborist award voting will be in May.

That concludes our March meeting.

Hope to see you all next month for the potluck at Michelle's. Spring has sprung!!!
