What's Happening in April at the GWC
Well, looks like life is handing out lemons again, but we don't let that get us down here at the Gardeners of Wake County. It's true we've had to cancel our Annual Azalea Sale and our monthly meetings but that just means we need to be creative - and creative is every garderner's middle name!
That said - no April monthly meeting - no problem. This month we'll all get to watch our scheduled presenter, Brie Arthur, whip up her usual fabulous blend of horticulture and agriculture as she speaks to us about Gardening with Grains, the topic of her latest book. How can she do that without a monthly meeting? Simple, we're all going to meet together with Zoom. This is an amazingly easy software to use that makes it possible for all of us to be at home and yet "in the same room" to hear Brie present. How do you get Zoom? How do you use Zoom? Not to worry. Paul Hoffman's going to be sending out instructions, links, and even conducting a practice session one week before Brie's presentation! Bottom line - keep your eyes on your email for messages from Paul. The practice session will occur on Tuesday, April 14th at 7:30 PM. Brie will present (on Zoom) on Tuesday, April 21st at 7:30 PM.
And what about the previously scheduled GWC Members Gardens Tour? Well, Coronavirus says we can't do it up close and personal but that won't slow us down one bit. This year's tour will be online using links that will appear right here on the GWC webpage. There are details in this month's Clod-Hopper. The link to the April edition is right below this announcement. What are you waiting for? The fun's just beginning.
In the meantime, stay safe. Stay well. Keep those beautiful gardens beautiful. This, too, shall pass.
