Join us for our first meeting of the season on Wednesday, September 10th, 2025

We’ll be kicking things off with a Plant Swap. Please bring one indoor or outdoor plant to share.

Here’s how it works:
• When you arrive, you’ll receive a ticket.
• During the meeting, we’ll ask you to introduce your plant—its name/type, why it’s special, and any care tips.
• Make sure your plant is clearly labeled with its name, sun requirements, and other key info.
• Tickets will then be drawn at random so everyone gets the chance to select a new plant to add to their collection!

🍂 As the seasons begin to change, it’s also time to start preparing for our annual plant sale. If you’re able, please consider dividing your perennials to donate. Soil and pots are available for pickup, and plants can be held in the Tinker holding area.

🌱 We are also excited to be collaborating with the Henrietta Public Library Seed Library. Fall is a perfect time for seed saving and sharing, so we welcome donations of extra seeds or seeds you’ve harvested from your garden. (And yes—clear labeling is essential!)

💳 Finally, as this is our first meeting of the year, please remember that club dues are due. Your membership ensures you stay connected with all our upcoming events, presenters, and activities.

We can’t wait to see you and start this new season together—let’s grow something wonderful!
