January 2012 Garden Gazette

Greetings from the President


Happy New Year to all our garden club members! I trust that you all had joyous holidays and are looking forward to 2012 with as much enthusiasm as I am.

The new Executive Board is planning on making 2012 a fun year to be a member of the Patchogue Garden Club. I am hoping we can add some newmembers to “grow with us".

How about the weather this month? Can you believe that Christmas was just a couple of weeks ago? Up until Christmas, my knockout roses were still blooming. My Snow Drops are peeking through, and I had to push back one of my Hyacinths!

Our Luncheon Committee is already working hard to make our luncheon the same success that it’s been in the past.

Now that the holidays are over, the spring catalogues are starting to roll in, along with e-mails from the various nurseries. I don’t know about you, but I want to purchase all of it. But alas, I have mostly a shady garden and have to stick with shade plants. Oh well, one can dream!

See you all at the meeting on January 24th at the American Legion.
