Anderson Mill Gardeners Luncheon |
Thursday, June11, at noon will be the next luncheon meeting of the Anderson Mill Gardeners. Our Speaker will be Georgina Schwartz of the Texas Ornithological Society. Her topic will be Recognizing Birds in our Area.
We are preparing for our Gardeners Market, June 28. It was a huge success last year, we sold out of produce in the first hour. We are growing more but invite all local gardeners to participate. Contact Martha Wallgren martywallgren@yahoo.com or any member.
This charmer has been having fun while I water my squash.
