Work Party – September 16 – 5pm

By on April 4th, 2013

Work Party – Monday Evening

5pm before the Monthly September MeetingIMG_5728

The next work party to weed out Equisetum from our first bed will be next Monday evening September 16 starting at 5pm, but come when you can.

This is before our membership meeting that same evening at 7pm.

Bring weeding tools, water, clothing appropriate for the weather. Also a bucket or other container to toss your weeds in is useful. We need at least one rake and broom, the rake to rake the soil so it looks like nobody stepped on it, and the broom to sweep the sidewalk.

We have new HPSW work party signs which we will inaugurate at that work party.

Fuchsia Sale – CUH – Saturday April 6

By on March 27th, 2013

Fuchsia denticulata - William Jackson Hooker

Fuchsia denticulata – William Jackson Hooker

The annual Fuchsia Sale will be Saturday April 6 at CUH, from 9 AM to 1:00 PM.  This is a big sale where large growers bring a big selection of plants, mostly small starts but some larger ones also.  It has one of the best selection of fuchsias sold in the area.  The plants are usually identified with photos and signs, and are organized so hardy, tender, upright and trailing plants are usually separated.  In addition, there are usually selections of species fuchsias, encliandras (with tiny flowers), and triphyllas (with long, tubular flowers).  There are always experts around to guide people through the sometimes rather daunting selection.  Although fuchsias are the main attraction,  there are usually a few other genera for sale as well.
