NOTE SPECIAL DATE — 4th Thursday
Meeting Program
2025–2026 Show Table Results
Virtual Show Table 7:00 p.m.

Virtual Show Table by Zoom and in person, Show Table in person only

     Joel Graham, our Show Table Chair, will present last year’s Show Table results at our September meeting. If you wondered what Joel does with all of those pieces of paper we fill out when we put a plant on the Show Table, he will tell you at this meeting!
     Find out who earned the most points/won the most ribbons in each class over the past year, and pick out seedlings if you earned points by winning ribbons or bringing plants to put on the Show Table – and collect money if you earned lots of points! This meeting always whets our appetite for more, bigger or better plants, and starts off the year with an enthusiastic scramble for new plants to add to our collections.

Photos for the Virtual Show Table must be submitted by Wednesday, September 23, to Mai Conaway conawaymai@yahoo.com.
