On August 11 we toured the gardens at Wolf Trap. Members of Master Gardeners of Northern Virginia were there to show us the shade garden and to answer our questions.
After we toured the shade garden, Theresa led us on a walk through the park.
In the shade garden.
This bright orange fungi caught our attention.
We were surprised at how big this one was.
For our June meeting, we met in Trudy's lovely backyard for a potluck. All of the food was fantastic.
Glenn Towle, owner of Glenn's Gardens spoke at our April meeting. For our May meeting, we toured his gardens. We enjoyed seeing the different gardens and hearing how they change throughout the seasons.
Once again we had a successful plant sale.
Our PLANT SALE will be Saturday, May 2 from 9 - 12 at the Village Shopping Center on Stone Road. We will set up near Virginia Bagel.
We will have perennials for sun and shade, lots of natives, herbs and vegetables. We will have woodland sunflower, ajuga, ostrich fern, sedum, hosta, goldenrod, creeping phlox, coral bells, black eye Susan, tomatoes, parsley, dill, cilantro and much more!
On Wednesday, April 8, several of us met at the Centreville Regional Library for a spring cleanup. We trimmed, weeded and tidied up the flower beds.
Our speaker was Glenn Towle, owner of Glenn's Gardens. He shared with us how he created his garden over the years. He explained soil preparation, time of year to plant and using natives and cultivars.
