Meetings and Activities
Regular meetings consist of a business meeting and a program, either with a speaker
or an activities leader.
From October through
May, meetings are usually held the third Friday of the month. (The
exception is December when we meet on the second Friday.) We meet at
the Left Hand Grange No. 9, in Niwot. Meetings are from 1-3 PM,
unless otherwise noted.
There is no January meeting.
Trying a new
meeting format this year, the first half hour will be for
refreshments while we meet and catch up with fellow members.
Scheduled speakers or the activity of the day will begin at 1:30.
These are planned for an hour. The final half hour will be for
conducting our business portion of the meeting.
In the event
of meeting cancellation due to snow or other last minute reasons,
the members will be notified as soon as possible by email.
This the same email to which you want to have your monthly
newsletter sent. So remember to keep your email address up to date
with the secretary/membership person!
Our June, July, August,
and September meetings, are
tours of members' gardens or other
places of horticultural interest, such as greenhouses,
nurseries, and arboretums. These summer meetings usually start at 10
am and end about 1 pm.
Programs
discuss topics such as cultivation of flowers, trees, and shrubs, attracting birds
and pollinators to
the garden, conservation of water, uses of herbs,
and photography in the garden, etc.
Occasionally, programs may be devoted to garden-related
craft projects.
A
spring luncheon in May and a Holiday Tea in December (both at the
Niwot Grange) bring members together to celebrate gardening
friendships.
