Message from the Bermuda Run Garden Club President

 Gardens and Plants can change your point of view and your mood, while improving our community and environment

 

Welcome  to the 42nd year of the Bermuda Run Garden Club.  This year we are going to try to motivate our members to look at their gardens in a different way.  At the recent Davidson horticultural symposium, I was very motivated to look at my gardens in a different way.  To look at the process of gardening BACKWARDS!  First what do you want your garden to be?  A special places to hide, realax and enjoy their beauty?  A place to bring joy to you and your neighbors  through your favorite plants.  Secondly, what do you want to attract to your garden?  Do you want to the plants  that attract butterflies, bees and beneficial bugs?  Are you interested in helping to supply reguge  for birds and small animals?  Our field trip to Joe’s perennial in May will help you with plant selection to fill your needs.  Do you garden like I have in the past?  “One of each ilium”?  Buying one of every plant you see?  Our field trip to Reynolda Gardens will show you how to repeat plants and give you inspiration for your gardens.  

Our new project this year “Plant of the Month” will provide education on native plants that will help the environment and our pollinators.  With a Lucy mostly winner taking home the Plant of the Month.  We will step into phase 2 of the pollinator gardens, adding our March Plant of the Month, American fringe tree, at the pollinator gardens.

My goal for this year is that each of you learn something new at each meeting while having fun.

 

Happy Gardening!
