The Gardener's Weekend 

was quite a success, full of wonderful information and inspiration.  

 

Now we need your help for next year's Plant Sale

Peonies are being raised for the 2011 Plant Sale fundraiser. The space to raise plants has been volunteered by Daisy Lee Bitter.

We hope to do the planting in mid to late-September.  We'll need fifty 9in pots to put them in.  Barbara Kennedy can pick them up (235-4347) or they can be dropped off at her house in town - 1133 Cook Way (take a right at the bottom of Mattox Ave).
Volunteers to gently place plants in pots will be needed, please email Barbara to help. 

The Homer Garden Club has been been around since a group of gardeners got together in 1984.  Gardening in Homer and the rest of the lower Kenai Peninsula is unique and conditions incredibly varied.  The season is short and the days are long.  The temperatures are mild, the rainfall moderate.  The soils are quite diverse as are the microclimates.  Snowfall fluctuates depending on location and year.  We garden at sea level and above 1500 feet.  And we do it successfully!

Our biggest resource, however, is the members of the Homer Garden Club.  With around 150 members, we have wonderful set of knowledge and experience to draw from. 

We have meetings on the fourth Sunday of each month from September through May.  We meet at 2pm in the downstairs meeting room at the Bidarka Inn to discuss issues or activities and then listen to an educational presentation on a variety of subjects.  

Come join us!

On this web page you can see who our members are, what our meeting and activities schedule is as well as see some member photos and read old Garden Club newsletters.
