Wildflower project: November 8th at 10am. We received approval to plant wildflower seeds on the west side of Hwy 3 in addition to the east side. We are set for planting on November 8th at 10am. The city will be tilling the west side. The east side will be planted with a seed drill tractor so as not to bury the seeds from last year. As a garden club we will focus on the area around our LCGC sign, and the idea is to plant that area heavily with bluebonnets to make our sign "pop". For those that want to help we will meet in the parking area on the northbound side of Hwy 3 and 96. I will ask that those wishing to participate bring a trowel and rake and gloves. Thanks to those of you that participated last year and for the good wishes from those that could not. There will not be an enormous amount of work in this, so if you would like to just bring a chair to witness that is fine, too. Watch for email or postings on our Facebook page for rainout changes. Any questions please text me: Jamie Hart ph;281-814-4805
Our featured speaker will be René Johnson, owner of Lush Flowers giving a presentation entitled “Make Your Own Floral Arrangement”. René has been in the wedding and event industry for over 30 years. She was trained by world renowned wedding and event specialist, David Tutera and has worked with him as a lead floral designer for multiple events including on Lifetime TV’s “My Great Big Wedding “. René will demonstrate how to make your own arrangement using containers and tools from home with very little money or effort.
We look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday, September 14, at 12:00 p.m. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a change from our regular meeting time of 10:00 a.m. for SEPTEMBER ONLY. We will meet in the League City recreation room, located behind the Johnny Arolfo Civic Center at 400 W. Walker St, and just adjacent to the swimming pool. Our meetings will go back to the regular time of 10:00 a.m. next month.
The September meeting is a regular business meeting. We will hear the club audit report and everyone will receive our club yearbook for 2022-2023, which includes the membership directory and information about each monthly meeting. We will also hear about the upcoming Garden Walk, our big fundraiser, scheduled for September 24. Judy Anderson and Leslie Wong, our Garden Walk chairpersons, have asked that you bring and turn in your Garden Walk ticket money and any leftover tickets.
Also, please remember to support the horticulture table at the meeting by bringing a plant or cuttings to share or swap, or to donate to the LCGC to sell. Chairperson Judith Taub is also requesting that we donate gently used garden pots and vases to the horticulture table. Seed packs and seeds that you've harvested (include planting and care instructions, please) are also welcome to share at the horticulture table, as are gardening books, magazines and catalogs. Also, your horticulture questions about plant cultivation, pest management, etc. are encouraged. Our members have a wealth of knowledge to share with us!
We'll see you on September 14!
