Dave's Front Garden

I thought I might share a picture of my front walkway in April. If you'd like to share some pictures of your garden please email me and I'll post them for all the garden club members to see!

Now Blooming: Tulips 'Negrita' and 'Shirley', Creeping Phlox

Here are a few more pictures of my front garden.

April Meeting: Jim Harding - Roses

Our April Garden Club Meeting (April 16th) will be at the Spring Hill Library at 9:00 AM.  Our Speaker will be Jim Harding who will be discussing ...ROSES! So stop by the library for our meeting, I'm not sure if you'll be able to stop and smell the roses but we'll at least be talking about them! ;)

March 2011 Garden Club Meeting

Reminder, our next meeting for Spring Hill Garden Club is March 12 at 9:00 am at the Winchester Center. Our meeting will be a question and answer program. Please come with garden questions and hopefully some of our club members can answer them. I will share some new things I have recently learned about gardening in this part of TN. We will have a sign up sheet for the Williamson Garden Expo in April. We also be discusing a May pot luck supper and trip to Huntsville (Botanical Garden) in Jun.

Thanks,

Ann
