What's Happening in October at the GWC

Picture
A beautiful garden shouldn't have to wait for spring. That is the philosophy behind gardener and plant enthusiast CJ Sykes's October GWC presentation, "Creating magic All 12 months of the year with Great Plant Choices.”  The secret to a garden with year-round appeal begins with thoughtful plant selection. Rather than choosing a plant simply because it looks spectacular at the garden center, CJ encourages gardeners to consider what that plant will contribute throughout the year.  Perhaps the most valuable lesson from CJ’s presentation is also the simplest: when selecting a plant don't ask only "What will this plant look like in May”, ask instead "What will this bring to my garden in January, April, July, and October?” Learn how you can create year-round splendor in your garden when you attend the October meeting of the GWC!  Don’t miss this one!  Be there on Tuesday, October 13, 7:00 PM, JC Raulston Arboretum!  Hors d'oeuvres and free plants galore.  Be on time or the early birds will get all the worms!
 
Not a member?  We feel your pain.  But not to worry!  The GWC's got you covered.  First off, you're always welcome to attend our presentations as a guest.  Even better, you're always welcome to become a member.  If you love gardens and gardening in the Carolinas (and hanging around with others who feel the same way) why not join us!  We'd love to have you!  A handy online membership application awaits you right here!
