Meeting of North Grenville Habitat Gardeners

[Frederick W. Schueler]

Everyone,

The North Grenville Habitat Gardeners is a group that has been promoting
the restoration and gardening of native plants, they have put in a
number of garden beds of native species in Crozier Park (Oxford Mills)
and the Campus, and have worked with the 6 Grade class in
Oxford-on-Rideau school to grow and plant native species.

Here's the announcement of an organizing meeting that's to be held at
the Campus greenhouse tonight (45.00556°N 75.63695°W). Sorry it's such
short notice, I've been waiting for wording for those who aren't yet
members of the group).

to the three we planted [in Crozier Park] a bit late last year. The
footprints have done well. Also, the sale of Ladys Slippers has
excellent results, so we have a bit of money set aside to support our
up-coming projects!

of the campus greenhouse so we can see what maintenance needs to be
done, then we will go inside to discuss plans for the future of the
group (for example, new projects and the possibility of arranging for
group orders of potted shrubs and trees from the Ferguson Forestry
Centre, the availability of seedlings for exchange with other members of
the group, etc.)

* and a quick report on the meeting: "...the rather chaotic discussion
in the small group was mostly about a salvage operation for slow-growing
woodland herbs that Philip Fry is organizing in some cleared woods, and
maintenance of the already-planted beds."
