Winter/Spring 2022/2023:  

Our March 20th meeting will have a brief 30-minute Business portion, then we will all have a fun color splash potting party where we will pot up colorful annuals purchased by the club in to containers that members bring in (find containers at Goodwill, your garage, or at one of the local dollar stores).  The containers and plants will be donated to our Plant Sale at the Chico Home and Garden show on April 1st and 2nd. 

If it’s rainy, we’ll do it indoors with tarps and table covers.  We need members to help pot up these containers so join us rain or shine!
