Another Updated Message from our President, Catherine Jefferson |
Dear Members and those interested in Joining the Campbellford & District Horticultural Society
Here we are moving into the fall season. Although Covid-19 is still keeping us apart we hope these information pieces will keep you abreast of activities. Thus a note from your Executive. The Anglican Church and Jenkins Hall are still off limits to us for meeting or the use of the library. I am in contact with the church Wardens who suggest there may be some news early October as to our use. In the meantime keep an eye of the website, social media and member e-mails.
The 2020 Garden Party, venue Sue Morrow and mother’s place) was cancelled but thanks to the Morrows for their kind offer of a venue for 2021!
The next event will be the Fall Plant Sale. PLEASE NOTE:
IT WILL BE HELD AT 213 FRONT ST., NORTH AT THE HOME OF THERESA MILLER ON Saturday September 19th 8:00 to noon. Please pass this info along. Flyers will be posted as will information on our social media sites, our website (www.DownTheGardenPath.ca), and an email will go out to all members. Masks are required as well as social distancing.
The Pumpkin Contest is cancelled this year as we felt the Thanksgiving weekend is busy at Sharpe’s, and not being able to social distance etc. is difficult to police.
Ashley Krahn from the Campbellford & District High School has received the $300 scholarship for this year. We have offered to present the plaque to her in the fall when graduation takes place. The elementary schools have each been provided with a book on horticulture for their libraries.
We have received various information pieces from the Ontario Horticultural Society (OHA) concerning insurance, membership and OHA meeting. Please see the Members Only section for detailed information.
“Show and Tell” was to occur for the September 7th meeting which is cancelled. Guest speakers have been contacted and instead of cancelling we are posting information from each speaker on the website. The first “Speaker” will be Leslie Abrams with information on flowers and pests which we are posting now for September. If you click on her site you will see wonderful photos and access to more information (http://leslieabram.com/the-joys-of-gardening-for-wildlife/).
It has been suggested that as we can’t participate in mini shows that points so far accumulated will go towards the upcoming year. In addition we propose that anyone with a photo of interest be sent along to the webmaster (Trudy Neumeyer) with a short explanation of what the photo is, where it grows, etc.)
This is all for August but keep tuned in for September and don’t forget the plant sale September 19th.
Sincerely,
Catherine Jefferson
President

The Campbellford and District Horticultural Society, serving all of Trent Hills, is made up of people just like you. We are all at different stages of the 'gardening curve'. Some of us are just beginners, while others are well seasoned, but we all have much more to learn. That is why we love getting together to learn from each other and from our monthly speakers. Besides our regular monthly meetings on the 1st Monday - February to June & September to December, we have the following Annual Events: May & September Plant Sales, July Garden Tour, August Garden Party, and an October Pumpkin contest.
Campbellford is more beautiful because of the beds we plant and tend. Our children are encouraged to take part in horticultural interests as well. Each year, we give a scholarship to a graduating student who is furthering their education in a horticultural field.
Please Join Us for some Fun!! Encourage your children and grandchildren to be great gardeners!
