We are very excited to have Nancy Bell giving a presentation at our October meeting (October 21, at 7:30 PM in the Gild Hall's Upper Hall). Nancy is the Education and Garden Coach Coordinator at Gateway Garden Center in Hockessin. She'll talk about preparing our garden for Fall & Winter in order to support wildlife, expand native plants, and promote plant health for the next growing season.
This topic is very timely, please come!
Dear Gardeners Gild Members and Friends...
It has been incredibly rewarding to get to know so many of you in person during these past years. I learned so much about the Ardens, about gardening, and we've had lots of fun activities, but the time has come for me to hand over the Gardeners Gild's leadership. As some of you will recall, during our party in June 2023 I announced that I am looking for someone to take over; well, the right person has just come along!
Elaine Schmerling has accepted to lead the Gardeners Gild; she really needs no introduction; she is the most active gardener (in her own garden and out in the community as well!) I've met here in the Ardens. She is knowledgeable and passionate about everything plant-related. She has boundless energy, and so many great ideas for our Gild. I can hardly wait to see what she has in mind for us!
FYI - I will continue distributing the plugs we had ordered in the Spring.
Thank you for all the support!
Hajni Halasz
