Rain Gardens May 2022 meeting

 Our Rain Garden Event at Dottie and John Evan’s earlier this month was a well-attended lovely time for all!  But for the first time ever, we had no leftovers and those that arrived a bit late found little left to forage! Some people forgot to tell us they were coming or to bring something to share. These member-hosted events are a special treat and our hosts should know how many are coming and what they are bringing so that we have sufficient food and drink for all.
