GARDEN & HERB SOCIETY MEETING-JUNE 21

We had a nice gathering of members at the Pavillion. The refreshments were delicious, and then we made beautiful garden markers. Next month our meeting will be held on Monday, July 19th. Check the News and Notes for location. One of our projects is to work on the Butterfly Memorial Garden, which is located just before the BMC tennis courts. Rory and his staff have been working hard with gravel paths lined with rocks, and there is a beautiful Memorial Chair in honor of Tuck Calhoun. One day soon, this garden will be filled with many blooming plants.
