We are all missing each other right now! Our monthly meetings are a time of sweet fellowship with other gardeners and a time to learn something new from great guest speakers. Covid-19 has kept us from meeting and I know we will all be so happy to see one another when we are able to resume our normal schedule. Our Co-Presidents Nancy and Pat encouraged our members to visit the ETSU Arboretum for self-guided tours in lieu of our regular May meeting. The ETSU Arboretum is such a tremendous local resource! It includes over 200 different species of trees and over 150 shrub species. Record low temperatures in early May and the continual deluge of rain showers have made it difficult to get over there but if you haven’t yet, please do. It is a real treat! Pat and Natalie sent along some lovely photos from their visits Natalie was inspired by Fragrant Snowbell, Chinese Sweetshrub and Allspice. Pat took note of the Confucius Hinoki Cypress and Cedar of Lebanon, both of which reminded her of the World Lit class she teaches. She also snapped a great photo of a Little Gem Magnolia… because who among us doesn’t want a Little Gem Magnolia?! Thanks Ladies!
