MARCH MESSAGE

Greetings Garden Friends,

Ah, the romance of spring. How wondrous to bask in its sights and fragrances; Let's savor the stands of blooming daffodils, the sweet scent of hyacinths, tulip colors, stunning tree blossoms before leaves unfurl, or hear the buzz of returning bees and singing birds that fill the air.  When nature becomes alive, the transformation is captivating. Happy April as you perceive spring all around you. 

After several years at the Chadwick, this will be our first Camelot Member's Day Out. Please remain inside your vehicle if you arrive before 10:30 since the Camelot does not have the inside waiting area that we became used to. It is great to see how many Ingomar Members are attending as our Greybrooke Friends are honored. Considerable support like this has always been something IGC is famous for. The beloved grower, DJ will be selling a treasure trove of unique plants, while Jeff Double will demonstrate reclaiming and decorating lost art. Our May 10th Fundraiser Plant Sale, now scheduled for Mother's Day weekend, is approaching fast. After many years of being at the corner of Ingomar Road and Route 19 we are moving it to McCandless Crossing. It's hard to believe that the diggums workshop is already planned for next Monday, March 31s. People still need to sign-up. And as we meet again at Northmont, a PA Master Gardener will reveal possibilities for gardening in small spaces using containers.

See you soon,
