The DCMGA Plant Sale date has been set for Saturday, September 24, from 9:00
AM-2:00 PM at LISDOLA, the site of one of DCMGA's largest, ongoing projects.
According to Karen Archambault, DCMGA chairman for ways and means, many
volunteers will needed to make this event a success. Volunteers have already
been assigned duties of watering the plants that have already arrived at two
locations for summer "baby-sitting." To find out more about volunteer
opportunities, contact Karen.
Another way to help with the fall fundraiser (and thin out your flower
beds!) is to host a "Potting Party." Parties have already been held by Mary
Morrow and Myrna Engle. Any potting soil required will be furnished by
DCMGA.
The annual fall roundup for trainee class members will be Wednesday, October
19, 10:00 AM-Noon, at the extension office. This is our chance to meet with
fellow gardeners and discuss DCMGA programs and projects. Fliers regarding
the roundup and class dates can be obtained at the extension office; be sure
to pick up some for those friends and neighbors who have expressed an
interest in become a Master Gardener.
