What's Happening in April at the GWC
April is packed at the GWC! For starters, there's our Club's justly famous annual Azalea Sale. This sale supports scholarships for NCSU horticulture majors and it supports better azaleas for a more beautiful Old North State! If you're a GWC member, now's the time to help out! Sign up to volunteer at the sale using the link you'll find below. If you're a gardener, member or not, remember that this year's massive azalea sale runs from April 8th through the 17th. You'll find your exciting new 2021 azaleas at the annual GWC April Azalea Sale at Campbell Road Nursery! While you're there, pick up some new bedding plants and vegetables. Tell Phil Campbell the GWC sent you!
In addition, our GWC Zoom presenter for April is Tom Packer, Master Gardener for Wake County, a moderator of Gardening Carolina’s Facebook Group, a JC Raulston Arboretum volunteer and President Elect for the Rotary Club of Raleigh. Best of all, Tom also is a new member of the Gardeners of Wake County! During the past COVID year, Tom has manned the Master Gardeners’ telephone hotline. He’ll tell us about some typical gardening questions they’ve handled and reveal details of some of the more interesting and colorful inquiries they received. Be warned. This may not be a presentation for faint-of-heart gardeners! Tom will answer questions from our members, too. Don’t miss the monthly meeting on Tuesday, April 19th beginning about 7:00 PM. Zoom links will be sent out by email in advance to all GWC members. Be there early before all the good seats are taken! And remember, parking is always free at the GWC.
What if you're a member and had to miss the live show, or what if you're a member and want to see it again, or, more sadly, what if you’re not a GWC member (yet)? Fear not! A link to a recording will be posted below some time after the meeting! Just follow the 2021 presenters link below when the time comes.
Want to see one of our fabulous 2020 presentations? Every last one of them also is there and waiting - just follow the 2020 presenters link. That said, why not become a member so you can get the VIP treatment that's only available to paid-up members in good standing? A handy-dandy membership application form is available on this webpage. Go find it! Fill it out, include a bargain-basement-priced check covering your annual dues - and you're one of us!
