Here’s the scoop on our last two informative meetings of 2009

In September, on Saturday the 26th at 9:30 am
In Pat’s yard at 2146 Sayre
    A presentation by Robert Neri of Robert’s Floral Design Studio on evaluating the design elements of your garden; artfully placing objects or statuary. You’ll learn how to consider, add or replace pieces in your green space, anticipating their effect in the coming seasons.

In October, on Saturday the 24th at 9:30 am
a week early to avoid Halloween
In Rutherford Sayre Park’s Fieldhouse on Belden
