Good morning everyone,

We had a lovely potluck last Monday night and made plans for the 23-24 program year.  There is still time to suggest a speaker or topic for one of our meetings.  Please email it to one of the officers at the end of this email.  Speaking of officers, if you would be willing to serve next year, we are taking nominations for President and Vice-President.  Please consider nominating yourself!

This weekend is the Herb Festival at Leakin Park, something I look forward to every year.  I hope to see many of you there as we walk around the circle, choosing vegetables, herbs and flowers for our gardens.  Go here for more information: 

Jeff Teeters has taken the reins on our project for the Hunting Hills pool.  Please mark your  calendars, we will be gathering the morning of June 4th to install our plants.  Jeff will be sending out an email with more information.

Our June meeting will be a Garden Walk on MONDAY, JUNE 19. Please note that this is the THIRD Monday in June, not our usual date.

The garden walk/tours will take place in Catonsville AND will include a plant exchange. The tours will include some gardens we saw last year and some new ones.

Garden Touring- Our starting point will be Janet McGlynn's house, 1002 Magruder Ave, not far from the Catonsville Post Office. There is plenty of street parking.

To allow time for the most garden viewing, early birds can start from 1002 Magruder Ave as early as 5 or 5:15 pm. The official start time is 5:30 pm. There will be slightly shorter tours for those who must arrive after 5:30. We will finish garden touring by about 7:15 and have pot luck dinner at Janet's house.

As with last year's Catonsville tour, there will be houses/gardens in each direction from the start point. Janet will provide a map, addresses, and advice on which route(s) to take and send us out in small groups. Wine may be involved. You should have flexibility to visit quite a few gardens and to pick those of greatest interest to you.

For those who wish to limit their walking, there will be several gardens within a block and several that are a short drive with good parking and no steps to go up or down.

Plant exchange- This is a great time of year to trade plants (indoor and outdoor), seeds, and plant supplies. Bring whatever you want to give away. All items will be placed in the front yard where everyone can see them while coming and going. Hopefully, you will go home with something new for your garden.

RSVPs, questions, and suggestions for gardens in Catonsville should go directly to Janet (mcg...@umbc.edu, 443-474-3748 text).

We look forward to seeing all of you soon!

Hello to all. On SATURDAY, June 3rd, the THGC will be installing a garden space at our neighborhood Hunting Hills swim club at 9am. Catherine Van Allen and I will acquire plants at Sun Nursery and organic garden soil at Hollin’s Organic Products the day prior. I drew a site plan, noting the surrounding walkways, steps, flagstone retaining walls and existing shrubs, plants and a tree. At our recent meetings, guest speakers have presented tips on establishing new gardens with a special emphasis on the use of native plants that attract pollinators and butterflies. We intend to incorporate those ideas and to adapt a plan drawn by landscape designer, Nancy Grabowski, who spoke at a recent meeting. Volunteers are needed. Please arrive at 9am. I have a large wheel barrel for moving the garden soil. A second would be helpful along with your basic garden tools. Also, there is a large tree stump cut low to the ground upon which we can do a container garden as a focal point. Daphne has a large decorative pot that we can use, I’d like to go bigger. Can someone donate one. Let us know who can help. See you then. Jeff.
