Open Garden and Ice Cream Social   

        On Thursday, August 11 (rain date August 12), Ginny Pearce is opening her garden at 5 pm for our August meeting and an ice cream social. Meeting to start at 6:30 pm. Ginny’s seedling beds are a treat not to be missed but do also walk around the entire house as a mix of sun and shade perennials, including about 150 varieties of hosta, are in the landscape.

        Even in August there is plenty of daylily color in her gardens due to her years of hybridizing for reblooming and later blooming daylilies. She is excited to have you come see her newly relandscaped back yard which now includes a lawn for us to set up our chairs and socialize for the evening. Ginny’s website, Garden Path Perennials, is a good way to acquaint yourself with her introductions and some of her promising seedlings.
