Our club’s Spring Public Plant Sale took place on Saturday, May 11th, in the Discovery Park Pavilion of Muscatine Environmental Learning Center, Muscatine. Members were asked to bring daylilies, other plants, garden tools, garden clothing, etc. to sell at this sale. Set-up began at 8:00 AM, and the sale ran from 9:00 AM until almost noon. The Muscatine Garden Club and the Muscatine County Master Gardeners also sold plants, and the local 4-H club had a bake sale, provising coffee, hot chocolate, and a wide range of cookies. Despite the cool, damp weather, 32 CVIDS members were in attendance, and all the plants on the CVIDS tables were sold. Thanks go to Lyle for providing these photos. Three new members joined CVIDS. From Muscatine, they are Deb Howard, Karl Thielman and Ada Whitworth. Welcome aboard! We look forward to getting to know them at future club events. |
