President’s Message

June 21, the longest day of the year, makes us realize how fleeting the summer is.  Each day, imperceptibly, our days grow shorter, our nights longer.   

Our gardens, both public and private are looking beautiful.  The bandstand has an old fashioned air and the circle is bright and color coordinated to name just two.  Throughout the town and the village there are gardens of flowers and greenery thanks to the hard work of our members.   

These are the months to invite friends to our homes to show off and enjoy the work we have put into our gardens this spring.  Our July meeting will find us visiting members’ gardens and staying for a coffee hour at the home of Sally Mattausch.  

In August we will visit a beautiful and very varied garden in Cold Spring, Stonecrop, supported by private funds.  We’ll have a guided tour and a light lunch in the garden. There is a shop with plants and garden objects as well.

As gardeners we know how to seize the summer.  

Have a great season!
