6:00 pm. Master Gardener Banquet with speaker Verna Gates
Come to the banquet to celebrate our Intern’s Graduation and meet the new board for 2020. Tickets for the banquet are $20 apiece. For more information go to the Dues and Banquet page.
The evening’s speaker will be Verna Gates whose topic is Wildflower Folklore In an old Indian legend, an eagle cut out a piece of the sky to make a flower. Today those bites can still be seen, helping people identify the chicory. Before general literacy, our ancestors needed ways to learn how to identify the plants essential to their survival. These ancient memory games are delightful stories that teach in the old tradition, through stories.
There is no Master Gardener meeting in December.
