We are now more than five months into the pandemic. All of us are probably weary. Those of us who live alone or work entirely from home may be struggling with the isolation and disconnection from our fellow gardeners. Yes, we are lucky to all share a passion for digging in the dirt or arranging flowers and tending to our little plots of earth has been a saving grace. But it is hard to not be able to sit and visit with one another. Fortunately we are finding ways to stay connected and our first ever virtual garden club meeting was a great opportunity to see one another and to check in with our fellow Shady Ladies (and gents.)
Luke Carter of the Northeast TN Chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby gave a great presentation about climate change and inspired us all to step up, get involved and do our part to help. After his presentation we had a very fun show and tell with horticulture and design. Our first virtual meeting had a few (very entertaining) technological hiccups but by next month we will all be experts! Thank you Katya for hosting us on Zoom.
If you missed the meeting we really hope you will join us at the next one in October.
