President’s Report, June 2026: Hello Gardeners, It is hard to believe that the Flower Show and Tea is behind us and the last meeting before summer break is upon us already! But fear not, we have one more wonderful speaker to look forward to this month, plus our Art in the Garden tour on June 20th. And of course, after a well deserved summer break, we will also be back in the fall for another year of speakers, events, and fun! What an incredible Flower Show and Tea our club put on! A big huge thanks to all of the volunteers who put so much time and effort into the event, and most especially to Karen Wade for stepping up when the event needed a team captain! She and her hardworking team put in many hours of planning and behind-the-scenes work, but to every member who contributed food or baking, who volunteered their time, or who showed something from their garden… YOU also made the event the success that it was! Our speaker this month is the aptly named Ann Nightingale of the Rocky Point Bird Observatory, an avid birder of 30 years, give or take! Ann will present to our club on common and unusual birds found in our region so we can learn more about the feathered friends that we see and hear in our gardens. Do you still have some blooms to show after the Flower Show? If you had a few that didn’t quite open in time for Friday and Saturday, give them a second chance in this month’s parlour show! Some category highlights: 01. Don’t Judge Me! As always, the full details can be found on our club website under the Parlour Show page. Looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday for one last meeting before summer! Erin |
