Manchester Garden Club meets the 2^nd Thursday of each month from March through October at 7:00 p.m.  Meetings are usually at  the Blocher Room in the town library, or sometimes at members' gardens.  The club maintains the Eel River Town Gardens and takes short road trips to various gardens of interest.  New members are welcome or just drop in and "test the waters" first..  Dues are only $10 per year.  This year we will be irrigating the town parking lot gardens, helping with the America in Bloom contest, and selling honey hoes, of course.  The club is a member of Manchester Area Programs (MAP) and many members belong to the Wabash Co Master Gardener Association.

The April 12th meeting was a hands-on activity in making Stepping Stones in Tricia's barn.  Here are some pictures from that meeting and from last year, plus some pictures of gathering bees. [more]

Garden of the Month
 

Every month an area garden is chosen to be Garden of the Month.  The Club's sign is placed in the proud gardener's yard. For August the sign is at the home of Caryolyn Reahard.
