Joyce Poeger's lavender Garden

Here are some of the photos taken of Joyce Poger’s magnificent garden. Besides her exquisite lavender, there are so many unique selections of plants, flowers, trees, and shrubs that are arranged so beautifully. I especially enjoyed the lovely rain garden of perennials in the backyard and a tree that looked and felt as soft as cotton candy.

The beauty of your garden has lifted our spirits. Thank you for sharing with us Joyce.

Annual picnic and potluck Victory Garden 7/17/2020 @ 5:00 pm

Hello Members,

It has been a very long time since we have had a meeting and we are so glad that the state of CT is improving and reducing its Covid-19 cases and has opened the state in Phase II.  Phase II allows for outside gatherings to take place with up to 50 people.  So, we are going ahead and holding our Annual Pick and Picnic this Friday at the Victory Garden.  (see details below).  To keep our social distance, I ask that everyone bring a folding chair, and of course a face mask, and if you do not feel well please do not attend!

Due to these circumstances I ask to PLEASE RSVP if you are attending, so we have a head count for the evening event.  

The club will provide the paper goods and beverages as usual, and if you wish to bring something to share; I ask that you package it in a safe way for others before bringing, or bring store made items.  If you do not wish to share please bring your own picnic food for yourself. 

There are tools in the shed, and rows will be marked where volunteers need assistance with their row.  

I am really looking forward to our first meeting of the year, and seeing all of you again.  I really, really hope that if you are healthy and able you will attend the meeting.  I will have yearbooks for those who never got one, and hopefully we maybe able to reschedule some of our events for later this year.

Again, please RSPV to me or Karen so we have a head count, I HOPE TO SEE AS MANY OF YOU AS POSSIBLE THERE!

P.S. The Weather looks to be nice and cooler on Friday evening, perfect for a night outdoors.   

Thank you!
