May Plant Sale!

Spring is here and that means time for one of our big fundraisers of the year!    This will be our third year setting up a plant sale at one of our members house in Clarks Lake and in conjunction with Clarks Lake's Community Sales!

LOTS of great plants, herbs and other fun items for sale which made for a VERY successful sale; our biggest one yet!

Beautiful sunshine to get set-up and the weather was fantastic all day!

LOTS of great-looking plants and perennials!

Looks like we might need to expand to TWO tents next year!    As said earlier, we had a GREAT sale and made more than double what we made last year!   Every year just gets bigger and better!

Thanks to everyone who came out and made a purchase!!   And a big thanks to all the members who donated plants and their time for the sale!!

Annual Founders Day Banquet

The Derby Garden Club is 56 years old this year!!   Quite an accomplishment and we are getting stronger every year!

Our hostesses this year were Ruth Wolery and Pat Jeffries and they left no detail out!  We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Pinnacle Country Club in Grove City and the table was set with beautiful daffodils from Ruth's garden that we all took home.

Esther Coyle, our Reg. 9 Director, was able to join us and we enjoyed her company.

 

 

Debby Exline, a local master gardener, joined us as well and gave a small progam on Appreciating the Dragonfly.   It was very interesting and one of the facts we learned was, if you see a dragonfly near water, it means the water source is clean!   A very good sign!

 

 

 

 

Three door prizes were won by Ruth, Freda and Debby, who ALL just Happened to be sitting together!    (sounds fishy if you ask me!!  :)

 

But a good time was had by all and we enjoyed celebrating yet another year of garden club together and look forward to many more!



 

Seed-Sowing is Sow Much Fun!

Our March Meeting had us sowing seeds for the spring!   What better way to cure spring fever than to get ready for it!   

Vickie Lamb gave us ALL sorts of tips for starting seeds indoors.   We had a lot of fun putting together seeds for an herb garden OR a butterfly garden OR both!  :)

 

 

Let's keep our fingers crossed that they sprout!
