March 28 Meeting: Best Plants for 2024
Can’t wait to start planning your spring garden?
In her presentation, “Best Plants for 2024,” our March speaker, Kim Hartmann, will show us what is new in trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, roses, vegetables, and herbs.
With the many weather extremes we have had in recent years and the challenges of insect pests and diseases, it is helpful to learn about new varieties that are more tolerant and resistant while producing beautiful and vigorous plants.
Meeting Location: St Andrew Lutheran Church (NE Corner of Prince Crossing & Geneva Road.)
Meeting Time:
- 6:45PM Arrive & Mingle
- 7:00PM Business Meeting
- 7:15PM Program
Our February speaker is David Brooks, a professional naturalist with the Spring Valley Nature Center in Schaumburg. In his program, Backyard Birds and Bird Feeding, we will learn the “how to” of attracting a variety of birds to our property through properly maintained feeding stations and plantings that offer both food and shelter. The program will also include a who’s-who of common local birds and some of the migrating birds to be observed in the spring and fall.
Our first meeting of 2024 is coming up! We are looking forward to seeing everyone and getting started in planning and preparing for another year of gardening. Are you interested in growing a new variety of pepper or tomato that you saw in a seed catalog you got in the mail? Or maybe you just want to give your garden a head start for the growing season. Learn about the equipment and methods used for starting seeds indoors.
