Hort. Club Back in the Greenhouse 2-1-09
Thusday, 1-29-09 was our clubs first meeting of the semester and we were able to get our hands a bit messy. Our first mission was to propagate houseplants for a donation to the St. Anne’s Place Women’s Shelter. Stalk plants of Chlorophytum comosum, spider plants and Zebrina pendula, inch plants were made available for our use from Roger Meissner as they were extras from Plant Propagation. Thanks.
Our next project was sorting our seed collection and making early decisions as to which plants our members want grow for our spring plant sale. A donation of Seeds of Change seeds, a Certified Organic seed company was made by Neil Anderson. A section of our plants at this years sale will be grown with organic growing media and these seeds this will be an exciting step in a new direction for our club.
Just a reminder our club is always open for new members and you may join at anytime. For further questions don’t hesitate to e-mail me at hortclub@umn.edu
