  On January 1, 2012, the temperature was in the 50’s. How can that happen in NJ in January? On January 2, 2012, the temperatures are in the 30’s. What’s a gardener to do? Sit back and let nature takes its course. I know there are daffodils and some species tulips emerging but nature will take care of that. As of now the days will become longer, catalogs will arrive and entice us to purchase new and exciting things for the garden but beware, we usually order more than we can handle. Remember, January, February and March, we will be meeting in the mornings at McFaul. Social time begins at 9:30 and Programs at 10am.Our speaker, Dr. Edith Wallace, traded places with me as speaker for January. She is to become a grandmother in February and January worked better for her. Dr. Wallace was just awarded the Bergen County Audubon Society’s annual Harold Feinberg Conservation Award. You will learn more about this at our January 18th meeting. Hope to see you there. Janet |

It was a lovely event hosted by Jeanne on a perfect afternoon with a great lunch and super desserts (as usual) provided by the members. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire club for the donation that was made to the Garden Conservancy in recognition of my term. I really appreciated it. Looking forward to being a regular member again and wish Janet and the new board success and a good run. See you at the new members' luncheon on July 20. Barb photos credit: Maureen

“Addiction to disposable convenience”
“Addiction to disposable convenience” is the underlying theme of TAPPED, an award winning film is to be shown Friday, April 8 at 7:30 in the Indian Hills Auditorium. Area residents and students are invited to the free viewing of this documentary to learn the true monetary and environmental cost of bottled water. The movie dispels the myths that surround the choice of bottled water over tap by tracing the full life cycle from privatization of community water sources through the environmental toll of production, transport and disposal of empty bottles. The presentation is being co-hosted by the Environmental Clubs of Ramapo and Indian Hills High Schools and is sponsored by the Wyckoff Area Garden Club. Additional community support is provided by representatives from the Wyckoff and Glen Rock Environmental Commissions. |
