TIME: 6:30 PM Social time followed by a meeting and program on starting seeds.
Our 2/27 meeting will feature a panel discussion about seed starting: Successful Seed Starting Ideas for Now
and for Later. This is an opportunity to bring in all your unwanted seeds and seed starting equipment (trays, pots, old seed soils, etc.) to swap or share.

We will also make time for a conversation about the CT Flower and Garden Show shared by those who attended.
Meetings/Programs/Trips
Most meetings are on the fourth Thursday of the month at the Mansfield Public Library. Refreshments begin at 6:30 PM and the meeting and program follow at 7:00 PM. At each of the meetings in February, March, April, May, September, October and November there is a brief business meeting followed by a featured speaker sharing gardening expertise in areas such as peonies, vegetable gardening, medicinal herbs, Aromatherapy, pruning evergreens, perennials and annuals and other horticultural topics. The very popular Pot Luck dinner is held prior to the March meeting. During the blooming months of May through September club members take field trips to members’ gardens, other nearby gardens, and greenhouses and arboretums. In the spring there is an annual trip to the Tri-County Greenhouse in Storrs for a “Fill Your Planter” event.
