Connie Cunningham joined us to talk about “Deer and My Successful Garden” at our GCMGA meeting on Monday, July 20, 2015. She shared a comprehensive list of plants deer love as well as plants they avoid: annuals, perennials as well as shrubs and trees. Her PowerPoint presentation of these plants was very informative and many deer questions were answered. Related Images:
Jaemor Farm Field Trip
On July 1, 2015 GCMGA members visited the Alto Jaemor Farm and Market. We toured the orchards and fields; picked blackberries; visited the demonstration bee hive; learned about the history of the family that founded the farm and market, and did some shopping. We toured the farm in an open-air bus and nibbled on blackberries between stops. It was a pleasant morning for an outing and the ice cream afterwards was a treat. Related Images:
Felted Flower Workshop
In June, Jane Burke taught workshop attendees how to make Felted Flowers. Felt Flowers can be pinned to a hat or used as a brooch and make delightful gifts. Everyone had a great time at Jane’s and each member made one red poppy with a black center and then took home supplies to make a second flower. Related Images:
