Upcoming Meeting Information:
Open Garden and Plant Exchange
On Thursday, June 9th, the Grand Valley Daylily Society will meet at Laraine Facca's garden at 6:30 pm. In addition to the Open Garden and GVDS meeting, there will also be a plant exchange. This is an ideal time to divide and share your well-labeled plant or seed bounty with fellow members of the club. You are allowed to adopt the same number of items as you contribute to the exchange. Please bring a chair for your use to help you enjoy an evening in the garden with friends.
Laraine is a newer but very active member to the club. She is excited to have the club visit. She has lived in her home since the fall of 1989 and has been developing her gardens over all those last 33 years. The home was built in a farmer’s corn field so she started with a completely blank canvas. The gardens are continually evolving as the trees grow, the climate and soil composition changes, wildlife browses, and past mistakes are torn out and replaced. It is not a formal garden so wear comfortable walking shoes and use caution as you explore the grounds. As a newer member to GVDS, she has just begun to introduce daylilies into her garden.
