Jacalyn planting rain garden

Jaclyn planting rain garden Wyckoff Area Garden Club donated $200 for Jacalyn's rain garden project at the Christian Community Health Care Center and the Eisenhower Middle School’s courtyard club helped her with the project.

What is a rain garden?

WAGC Coleus of Course!

Message from our President, Janet Schulz

General NewsIt is with mixed emotions that I write this newsletter. Happy that it is my last one, but sad to see it end. I have had a wonderful experience serving as your President these past two years.

The cooperation, enthusiasm and help from all our members have made my job really easy and fulfilling. I especially want to thank my board for all the help they have given me.

Now the gardens are in full swing so are plans for the upcoming garden club year. Just because the regular meetings are about to end does not mean that our club year is over. There is still much to do….. We will be officially electing our new officers at this up coming meeting May 13 as well as having an interesting and informative speaker, then there is the
installation luncheon, garden tours and much more.

Looking forward to being your District leader come June.

Happy gardening, Janet

In the Garden

General News

May
Planting Time! Go out and support all the local nurseries and growers. Check out all the great local plant sales.
Need to replace any casualties of this past winter? Why not try something new, different or perhaps a native that will better cope with our unpredictable NJ weather. Plant more perennials than annuals (they generally need less water and less maintenance) and visit garden centers with display gardens to get ideas for plant and color combinations. Plant  containers with shrubs and perennials not just annuals, or a mixture, you could include vegetables and/or herbs. A vegetable garden may be just the thing with this economy - Victory Gardens for all?
 

WAGC Garage/Plant Sale 5/30 and 5/31 2008

WAGC garage and plant sale, May 2008 (photo courtesy of Bea) Congratulations! So glad it was fun and successful. ..............Nancy Blatt

Oh what thrilling news!!
I have to say, I had a ball working the sale on Saturday and really enjoyed getting to know fellow members. (However, I went home with my car FILLED with bargains I just couldn't resist, despite the fact that I swore I was "simplifying at home!) Since I work full time, I don't always have the opportunity to interact with club members and be able to assist with different projects. The garage sale was fun! Sign me up again for next year!.....................Nancy Drabik

I feel sooooo much better, Bea! Great job by everyone.....................Margaret
