We
would like to thank everyone who came out on Saturday, October 13th
to the Mandarin Garden Club's 30 Years of Blooms Celebration. The only thing
more impressive than the perfect weather was the attendance numbers. The level
of interest in the Monarch-Milkweed Initiative was overwhelming. Visitors asked
impressive questions about native milkweed plants and the Monarch butterfly
migration crisis.
The exchange of information provided us
direction on what the community needs to join in our conservation cause. To
keep the dialogue going, please check back to the Mandarin Garden Club's news
blog for updates and scheduled events as we slowly march to the Spring season.
Comments & questions are also welcome posts to:

From
the fall and through the winter months, we will be stratifying hundreds of
native milkweed seeds for early
2019 plantings.
Plans are in motion to offer milkweed planting clinics next Spring at
the club. Starter plants & kits (Asclepias tuberosa and incarnata
varieties) should be available for purchase. If you can't attend a clinic, no
worries, the annual garden club plant sale is offered every April.
