GARDEN CLUB MEETING: April 25 @ 7 p.m.
Zone 6 Garden Club will hold their April meeting on Monday, April 25 at First Christian Church on Centennial. The exec. committee will meet at 6pm and the regular meeting will begin at 7 pm. We will be discussing a possible field trip to a botanical garden so everyone’s input is needed.
We will also be talking about our yards and gardens and how this winter and spring weather has affected them and what we are doing about the changes that they have gone through.
The time is coming when we will be touring gardens for the summer before our meetings. We need members to volunteer their gardens for tours so be thinking about when you want the club to visit your beautiful garden.

Jacob Weber was the guest speaker. Jacob gave an encouraging program about the things our plants need for best performance. Plants need light and air. The roots need air and water for flowering, plus good soil management. A question and answer period followed his presentation.

The meeting was adjourned with 27 members attending.
