Every spring, gardeners anxiously await spring color and the first blooms of the year. In honor of those early blooming plants, our May meeting focused on unusual or uncommon plants that provide color through early May.
The program was structured in a 'show and tell' format. Program committee member Jean Halverson ran a slide show of early flowers blooming in home gardens submitted by Uplands Garden Club members. If the plant was blooming by our meeting date on May 1st, members could also bring a flower stalk or small bouquet...or pot them up and then take them back home to replant. Anything that blooms in early spring was eligible, including shrubs or trees, natives, special daffodils and tulips.
Program committee member Mary Mayo even made a special edible bouquet inspired by spring blooms - totally beautiful and also delicious!
A huge thank you to the committee (Mary Mayo, Jean Halverson and Ashley Pfister) for a delightfully creative program.
Reminder - Plant Sale is coming up on May 18, 8–10:30am, Ley Pavilion at Harris Park, Dodgeville. Everet brought in garden hods that he made to sell at the Plant Sale. Gorgeous!
