LBCC Horticulture Club: hort club

Greetings: Hort club is kind of winding down for the term. Discussion about moving the Native garden and upcoming speakers was covered today but nothing definite yet.

March 9th @10 we will be potting up some hanging baskets for the Mother's Day sale if you can attend and help out, that would be great. We are potting up 10 or more baskets. ( in the green house)

Keep in mind the cut flower bed for the future and please anyone who has input on anything....this is a free forum. Load it up and lets get it discussed. Thanks for all the input and see you in school. Peggy
