Plant Propagation
March 9th, 2022 Time: 1:00 PM
Presenter: A Master Gardener from the Brunswick County Ext. Service
Tom Woods from the Master Gardener Program will provide a speaker who will teach us ways to grow free plants from cuttings and seeds. I know many of you do this now, but there is always a new idea to help us. This will provide us with more free plants for our Plant Sale in April! We can start saving seeds and cuttings from our garden plants as summer winds down, and we clean out and trim back our gardens in the fall.
Hostesses: Kate Felmly – Chair, Tia Hegarty, Patty Marshall, Paula McManimen,
HBBC Field Trip
April 13th, 2022 Time: TBD
Program: Guided Tour of Airlie Gardens
Lunch at a restaurant in the area
For our spring outing we will visit Airlie Gardens in Wilmington. The gardens’ history dates back to 1884 when Pembroke and Sara Jones purchased the property and transformed it into a picturesque garden. It encompasses more than 67 acres of spectacular seasonal blooms, mighty live oaks, and historic structures. It has some of the best birding in New Hanover County and over 200 species have been observed. The garden features dozens of permanent pieces of art, including sculptures, water features, and the famous Minnie Evans Bottle House. There is a new pollinator garden with flowering blooms that specifically attract species such as bees, moths, hummingbirds, and more.
We will carpool from the Chapel, have a guided tour which will cost $9.00 each, and go to a restaurant which we will choose nearer to the date.
Hostesses: Cecelia Weston – Chair, Patricia Schwaiger, Jean Walker-White, Claudia Will
