What's Happening in September at the GWC
So you’ve been out in your garden seeing all sorts of little surprises. A leaf gently glides down in a colorful spiral and catches your interest, but … wait … you realize it’s not a leaf after all when it rises again to show off Mother Nature’s artistry. It’s a butterfly! But what kind is it anyway? GWC members found out on Tuesday, September 15th at our virtual September meeting featuring butterfly expert John Dole, Associate Dean and Director for Academic Programs in the College of Agriculture and Life Science at NC State University. During his delightful presentation, John taught us how to increase the number of butterflies in our yards and how to identify them, too.
As always, GWC members received a link via email and got to see the presentation live and text questions to the presenter. If you're a member and missed it, or more sadly, if you’re not a GWC member, we’ve posted a recording - just follow the link immediately below this announcement. Better yet, join the GWC and enjoy the action live! All you have to do fill out and mail in the handy dandy membership application form you'll find elsewhere on this page with a check and you're one of us!
And, don't forget, there's a Joslin Gardens (distanced, masked) workday coming up on September 19th! The crew that has worked at Longview previously will be there and you can be, too. Sharon LaRusch will be sending out details to those who are interested but she says the gathering will be in the morning for sure (for planning purposes). Gloves, rakes, shears, shovels, and wheelbarrows will be welcome but the only thing we really need is you! Please feel free to reach out to Lynn Swanson or Sharon in the interim if you have questions. They're in the Club Directory. Here's the Joslin Gardens website if you want to know more about it and directions to Joslin Gardens are here.
