Wednesday Night Weed-in!
New for 2009
Skip the gym, forgo the traffic and stop by the Border for a few hours on summer evenings. The plan is to meet at 5-ish and have a bit of social time while everybody filters in and we discuss last week’s topic. Then head out for an in-garden discussion of a plant or group of plants. Each week (yes, EVERY week!) we will tackle a different area, mostly light duty stuff such as dead-heading, weeding, etc. So come once or every week to have some fun after work.
George Lasch will lead this group.
