We discussed the garden plans being developed by Julie Johnston at the historic Maasdam Garden site. Julie is researching historic and period plantings from the late 1800's to early 1900's. She will soon draw up plans for a variety of sites.
The Dear Iris column seems to be successful. Perhaps the Fairfield Ledger will be publishing the column bi-weekly. The first two articles were published on Tuesday and the latest one was published today (Thursday). It is hoped that the column will run on one particular day and develop a "following!" A number of Master Gardeners in attendance tonight indicated their willingness to address a variety of topics. It should be fun! If YOU were unable to attend the meeting tonight, but would like to address a specific subject in a "Dear Iris" column, please e-mail Julie at this address: photo at ffledger dot com. (I have written it in long hand... you can do it properly.) She will keep track of various subjects addressed, so there won't be duplication.
Encourage your friends and relatives to write to "Dear Iris" % of Julie at the FF Ledger with their gardening questions!
Related to the discussion above, I will copy each post and publish it here. I would like also to receive any information YOU have that the rest of us would like to know about such as, gardening symposiums and fairs, garden tours within a reasonable driving distance, gardening opportunities, etc.
A Nominating Committee was formed this evening to seek a Chairperson, Vice-Chair and Secretary for our group.
You will find a calendar of upcoming events in both the left and right sidebars. Check them out. Make sure that if you wish to attend, you register in Good Time!
Discussion also centered around the Fairfield Beautification Committee and the gardening nodes in the downtown area. Hard-working, dependable volunteers are being sought to adopt one gardening node, plant and maintain it "in perpetuity" if possible! Contact Karin Hauring if you are interested.
Our regular monthly meetings are planned for each third Thursday at 5:15 P.M. at the Jefferson County Extension building.
