Wisteria Garden Circle

Since many of you have children and are interested in butterfly gardening, I thought you might be interested in what’s happening with the monarch research that happens each year about this time. My friend David Cook works for Fish and Wildlife and keeps me in the loop. If you’d like to get in touch with [...]

Many of you may remember my sister-in-law Mary who has attended several Wisteria meetings. Mary and I share a love of gardening, and when we get together, conversation always turns to what’s blooming in the garden, what’s worked, and what hasn’t. I always learn something new.
Mary has always been innovative and resourceful, and now she’s really [...]

I’m sure you remember the wonderful program and plant sale Jim West of Lincoln High School gave at our end-of-the-year party at Peggy’s. Jim recently sent the list of plants for the fall plant sale. As you know the money raised from these sales goes to help fund the horticulture programs at Lincoln. The sale [...]

I added all the Garden Circle events to my Outlook calendar. I’m hoping to work at the HOPE House a few times and I can’t wait for our great lineup of Wisteria meetings. We have a lot of talent within our circle and some really neat people. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone.

Go Wisteria girls, leaders of [...]

I don’t know about you, but I’m super excited about our program this year featuring Julanne’s raised bed garden. From what I’ve heard raised beds offer a really productive approach to gardening. Unfortunately, the program doesn’t occur until the spring. In the meantime, I’m compulsively looking at the pictures on this website: http://www.mastergardenproducts.com/raisedbed.htm
I love the [...]

I am certainly a proponent of recycling and reuse. I use cloth shopping bags, have not one but two recycling bins, and earnestly do my part to take care of our fragile earth. In my zeal to do the right thing, however, I recently learned a valuable life lesson which I feel duty bound to [...]
