FLOWER OF THE MONTH:
CALENDULA
This is the “official” flower of the month. It is an annual which should be started each year from fresh seed. The yellow to orange flowers will bloom much of the year in our state if regularly picked. It prefers full sun and should be planted in April or May for bloom in July or August.
MEMBERSHIP NEWS
Bonnie, Margo and Rose attended the Dekalb Federation Leadership Forum on September 29. The program was a discussion covering Membership, Fundraising, Programs, and Ideas to Revitalize Our Clubs. A lot of good ideas resulted from this program and we will share them with our members.
"The fair-weather gardener, who will do nothing except when the wind and weather and everything else are favorable, is never master of his craft."
(Henry Ellacombe, 19th century British gardener, writer)
