Many thanks to those that reached out to express interest in getting together to share their excitement as we look to the upcoming gardening season.
For those that didn’t see last month's posting, I am interested in gathering at the Masonic Hall in Cornish Flat, and the Plainfield and Meriden libraries for a relaxed sharing of our thoughts, suggestions and gardening resources. Whether it is a variety of tomato, a favorite recipe, gardening for pollinators, or how to keep your pruning shears sharpened, let’s see what we can do to support each other and local gardening.
