All About Plants Blog
The All About Plants Blog strives to record as much of the wisdom gleaned from monthly meetings and member knowlege as possible. Expect to find references and information provided by speakers, notes taken by devoted members and our very own Plant Forum!
Every monthly meeting, a Plant Forum takes place prior to the start of the speaker. So, if you have a plant that is causing you trouble or one you would like to identify or just learn more about, bring a cutting in before the meeting and arrive a little early.
Also, if there is a plant you would like to know more about and it's out of season or you can't get to a meeting, please email us and we will post information on the blog. You can also post your query directly to the Garden Talk Forum.
