Gardeners Gild
July 2025

Monday, July 21st, 7:00 PM

Join us for a Plant Pathology Walk Monday, July 21, 7 pm. We’ll meet at the Gild Hall parking lot. Ariel Becker, who is interning for her 2nd summer at the University of Delaware Plant Diagnostic Clinic, will lead us on a walk around town discussing and showing us a few common plant pathogens in our yards. Feel free to bring a sample of a diseased plant to be diagnosed! Please pack the plant parts of concern in a Ziploc bag.

Also, we meet approximately twice a month, usually on Thursday mornings, to maintain the Gild Hall grounds. On Thursday mornings, August 7 & 21, we hope to spruce up for the Arden Fair (subject to change based on weather). Contact us if you are free to help out then or to “adopt” a section on your own time! Email: ardenclubgardeners@gmail.com.

============================================

We’re excited to share that the Gardeners Gild will formally support the Arden Club Grounds efforts to care for and spruce up the Gild Hall gardens. A heartfelt thank you to Jill Coughlan, who has chaired the AC Grounds Committee for six years! She and other GG members have maintained the Gild Hall gardens by working there once or twice a month. And thanks to Lee Painter, who takes care of the window boxes! We invite you to join the Gardeners Gild, and also help maintain the gardens around Gild Hall. It’s a great way to meet like-minded people, learn about native plants (the good and the invasive), and maybe even take home some extras — black-eyed Susans, anyone? To find out days we are working (trying for Thursdays 10-2, weather permitting), or to join the Arden Fair Spruce-Up activity in August, check your Gardeners Gild email or contact: acgardenersgild@gmail.com.
