Garden Visit: Joyce

Remember Joyce's talk on container gardening in March? Now we have the chance to see her garden in action. The vegetables are doing great. Wait till you see the potatoes! She has 13 Hostas in raised beds and they are very happy this year with minimal slug damage. Some of them are just starting to bloom, as is the Astilbe. Maybe the Clematis will cooperate and start blooming too.

June 17, 4:30-6 pm
Directions will be emailed to club members soon.

June Meeting



Our next meeting is Tuesday, June 24 at 7pm. The featured speaker is Jamie from Valley Succulents in Comox. He will give a presentation on succulents. His website is www.valleysucculents.ca. If you are looking for succulents or cacti, you can order in advance and Jamie will be able to bring your selection with him. Contact Jamie to arrange this.

We are also having a Silent Auction of garden-related items. Please bring your donation at 6:30 so Diane and Laura can get everything arranged.

Chris Webb will give a short presentation on Humic Acid. There are various ways it improves the soil and helps plant growth. He will be selling 1 kg bags of humic acid for $15.

At our last meeting, we announced the winner of The Cut Flower Patch by Louise Curley was Laura. She was very pleased with her win!

This is the last meeting until September.
