Feb 4th – Floral Design Hosts Hort!

February 4th is hosted by the Floral Design Committee, chaired by Sue Ashmun. They have a terrific program for us, centered around cultivating Dahlias.  The talk is being given by John and Kathy Willson, who are accomplished plantsmen and garden photographers.  The Willson’s founded Swede Hill Dahlia Sunflower Farm so they have tons of experience – which means we are all going to be way more knowledgeable about growing dahlias by the end of the meeting.

The meeting will be held at the Center for Urban horticulture.  The social begins at 9:15, program at 10am

Following the presentation we will have an update on the flower show.

Please remember to bring something for hort shareand your coffee cup.
