Winter/Spring 2021/2022:
🚙 💨 Our May club meeting will be combined with a field trip to Matt Trumm’s permaculture garden. The date will be the third Sunday of the month, as usual, Sunday May 15th at NOON. It will be a tour through his garden with instruction on permaculture gardening, 1645 High Street, Oroville, CA 95965. Plan to BE there at noon (it is *approximately* a 30 minute drive from Chico).
🚗 💨 on April 13th we had a very fun club tour of the Horticulture Department at Butte College AND early plant shopping ahead of their annual plant sale. Following the tour, we held our regular monthly meeting outdoors with Social Distancing where we also elected our Club Officers for the 2022-2023 club year. 🗳
🚙 💨 The Chico Horticultural Society had a TERRIFIC masked, socially-distanced field trip to “The Worm Farm” in Durham on February 4th! 9033 Esquon Rd., Durham, CA 95938. Our guide was John Stewart, a third generation worm farmer. “The Worm Farm” raises and sells redworms, plus worm castings, as well as bat guano, perlite, and other soil amendments. It was very interesting! Please support them by visiting them and making some purchases. Tell them the Chico Horticulture Society sent you! 🛍
