I joined members of the Mercer Garden Club today for lunch.
We are a small service organization dedicated to planting and maintaining the flower beds around our Community Library and Courthouse Square. We do some fundraising to pay for the flowers and mulch.
In the summer we visit each others gardens and go on field trips to tour gardens. We learn from each other and exchange plants and seeds. It is amazing how everyone can pull together and get a big job done. Our next meeting will be about growing African Violets. I will try to remember to post some pictures after the meeting.
There is over a foot of snow outside and it has been bitter cold. Spring will be here in a couple months and the planning has begun. Check out the new widget on the right. There are a few slides of flowers from 2008 and the meeting agenda for our February meeting. I will attempt to keep this information current so members can check this site to see time, place and meeting agenda for future meetings.
We welcome visitors to our meetings and encourage anyone join us in maintaining the gardens in Mercer. In other words if you are walking around the Square and see a weed, feel free to pull it out or dump a gallon or two of water on a wilted pot of flowers. These are your gardens too! Enjoy!
