And, bring all this information to the next meeting.

In Need of Dirt!!
If you know of anyone in the area that will sell us a truck load of dirt for the mini garden, will you please call Carla Farrell at 226 5543.
Christmas Nativity
Judy Long still need help with the detail work on our Nativity. Please call her if you have time to help at 226 - 8677.
Mud Baths for Butterflies
To attract butterflies to your garden, make a mud bath. Fill a shallow bowl with 2 inches of clay, add water, and mix until muddy. Keep wet and butterflies will sip the water and minerals in the soil.
If you have an idea, write it down and bring it to the next meeting. OR, call an officer and tell them so they can bring it up at the next meeting. How would you like the mini garden to look.
We need your ideas!!!
If there is something you would like to know about gardening, write your questions down and bring it to the next meeting.
