A Message from the Director:

Spring has arrived in an array of beautiful color.  This is a wonderful time for gardeners as we dream about all of the new varieties of plants and wonder where they can be planted.  This season I hope all of you are selecting a few native plants to add to your gardens. 

I have had the privilege this spring to attend meetings in the National Capital Area, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. It is always exciting to hear about all the work garden club members are doing to beautify their communities.   My sincere Congratulations to all members and clubs who received Awards for their projects.

Good News…..we have some new clubs in the Region, as well as new members in established clubs.  Gardening remains the number one hobby, so invite your friends to become members and share the joy.

The fall conference “Autumn Splendor” will be held at Seven Springs Mountain Resort, Champion, Pennsylvania, October 24-26.  A Tri-refresher will be held during the conference and a Symposium will follow on October 27 &28.  This will be a fun filled weekend with exciting tours, outstanding speakers, programs, and workshops.  There is something for everyone in the mountains of western Pennsylvania, please join us.

I hope to see many of you at the National Convention as we “Make Music in Memphis”.

Happy Gardening.  Enjoy the beauty that surrounds us.
