The 2023 Annual GWC Azalea Sale Is HERE!
The 2023 GWC Annual Azalea Sale will be held this year at the NC State Fairgrounds Flower and Garden area. Volunteers are needed to help with unloading (beginning on the 27th) and with sales (from the 30th through April 8th). Hours are daily 9 to 6 (except on Sunday). And you don't need to be an azalea expert to help! Everything you need to know will be printed on signs next to each type of azalea. If you can't stay for a full shift, come anyway. If your preferred time has no free slots, you can still come at that time. We can always use more help! You don't even have to be a member to help at the sale. And signing up is easy! Just click this link.
What's Happening in March at the GWC
Monthly meetings begin officially at 7:30 PM at the Ruby McSwain Education Center, JC Raulston Arboretum, on the third Tuesday of each month. Refreshments and social time start at 7:00. Visitors and prospective new members are always welcome!
This month the GWC is pleased to present Master Gardener Rich Woynicz. Rich will expand our understanding of edible landscaping which incorporates food into ornamental landscapes. Gardens can offer beauty and function in the landscape, unique edible options for the table, and many other benefits including fresher, lower cost food, decreased exposure to harmful chemicals, and the delight of unexpected textures in the garden. This presentation will discuss using herbs, berries, vegetables, and fruit trees as part of your existing garden beds as well as designing new garden beds with a combination of edibles and ornamentals from scratch. Rich will explore what to consider in designing an edible landscape including garden location, restrictions from HOA or zoning, wildlife access, pets and children, budget, and garden style. Planning is essential for success, from container plantings to larger garden beds. Don’t miss this one! Your gardens and your dinner guests will be glad you attended!
And DON'T FORGET - March is the start of the GWC Azalea Sale. The Sale runs March 30 through April 8 at the NC State Fairgrounds Flower and Garden area each day between 9:00 to 6:00. Tell your friends. Tell your dog. What the heck, even tell your enemies! And remember, sign up to help! "Your" Club can’t exist without a "u" in it!
