The Gazebo Garden committee will be putting that garden to bed for the winter on Saturday, November 14th at 10:00. 

As our committee's numbers are, alas, in decline (we are getting old), we sure could use a few extra helpers. If you've never been to the garden, this is a great opportunity to 1. see it, and 2. lend us a needed hand. This endeavor typically takes about 1 1/2 hours, so just a portion of a Saturday morning. Family members are welcome;  (there is even a playground on the property!)

The garden is just behind Ludington Library in Bryn Mawr. We've been tending it for 14 years!

Please email Margery Cooper (coopermargery11@gmail.com) or Cheryl Cheston (ckcheston@gmail.com) if  you're able to help.

In case of bad weather, our rain date is Saturday, November 21st.

Please bring your gear:  pruners, loppers, rakes, and cordless trimmers. 

I have already received my PHS 2027 Exhibitor’s Guide to the Philadelphia Flower Show from PHSonline.org. If you are interested in entering any of the Classes, it is an essential reference. The Flower Show this year will be held March 13-21! ( Chanticleer is exhibiting too!”)

Exhibiting is a great way to enter the show early…..very early…to get a preview and when the spirits are high!

I would recommend you call PHS @ 215-988-8800 to request an Exhibitors Guide, if interested, or to add your name to the Volunteer List. I invite you to contact me, BJ Johnson@ 610-585-3889 with any questions. I have entered exhibits for the last 8 years and have totally enjoyed the excitement!

It is not too early to start planning. 🌸🌸🌸

Hello-

Dig Into Conservation Fall 2026

Best, The Conservation Committee

Hello,

Unfortunately, we had to cancel the trip to Brandywine Cottage tomorrow because we were unable to meet the minimum number of attendees required. Apologies to those who had signed up. We hope to plan something similar again in the future!

For those of you who couldn't make the meeting today, we are looking for 4 more people to sign up for the trip this Thursday, September 17th to Brandywine Cottage and Bondsville Mill Park!! We need a minimum of 10 people and have 6 signed up or we will have to CANCEL. It is $25 per person. If you have a guest that may be interested, please let BJ or myself know. Hope you can join!

Heads up ladies:

I was at Costco yesterday, 9/11, and bought tulips from Longfield Gardens at a cost of &15.99 for 50 bulbs. That's about 30 cents a bulb. I ordered some of the same varieties (like my favorite Foxy Foxtrot) earlier this summer for about $1.25/bulb. Now I don't know if they are the regular size they sell from the site, but this seems like a great deal. They had daffs and other small bulbs as well.

They also had a great selection of pumpkins, with the big white ones topping only $8.99, regardless of size. Smaller and orange pumpkins were less. Selection included Heirloom and Cinderella varieties.

Both bulbs and pumpkins were located near the entrance behind the registers. I'm sure they will fly out the door.
