Meeting – November 14, 2018

Part II of Gardens from Around the World.

Garden Club members love to travel. And when we travel, we like to visit parks, gardens, farms — anywhere where things are grown. November’s meeting will feature more intriguing gardens as club members share their travels and research with slide presentations of gardens they have visited. Rosemary Broome-Bingham will share famous gardens she visited in Ireland this summer, and Mary Kocol will talk about world renowned gardens she visited in France.

There will also be our usual plant roundtable and raffle. All Somerville Garden Club meetings are free and open to the public. 7-9pm. Meetings are held the at the Tufts Administration Building, (TAB), 167 Holland Street, second floor, wheelchair accessible. Parking is available, and the building is a ten-minute walk from the Davis Square MBTA stop.

Help Tackle that Swallow-wort! The monarch butterflies will thank you!

H Is For Daylilies
Adele Keohan, a Master Gardener with the Massachusetts Master Gardener Association will talk about the use of daylilies in our gardens. How about adding a “spider”, “double”, or “eyed” daylily to your garden bed? Adele will talk about how to select daylilies for your garden, and how to care for and propagate these hardy perennial plants.  Adele Keohan is a regional officer in the American Hemerocallis Society (AHS), the national daylily society. She edits the award-winning regional daylily society publication, Daylilies in the Great Northeast.  Adele is also a past president of the New England Daylily Society, a non-profit organization created for the purpose of promoting the daylily and educating the gardening public as to the care and cultivation of this beautiful and hardy perennial.  In her own perennial plot she gardens as organically as possible.

All Somerville Garden Club meetings are free and open to the public. 7-9pm. Meetings are held the at the Tufts Administration Building, (TAB), 167 Holland Street, second floor, wheelchair accessible. Parking is available, and the building is a ten-minute walk from the Davis Square MBTA stop.
