April 4: Buxton meeting at the Pompositticut Community Center in Stow, MA We’ll gather in the two rooms in the back of the building at 10:30 (our new start time); the meeting and program will begin at 11. Our Annual Meeting is every April and this year we have lots to discuss and vote on. We’re also planning to set up tables with supplies to begin propagating plants for sale at our September show. Please be looking through your collections for leaves, stems and rhizome chunks you can bring to the meeting for us to propagate. Please also be thinking about how many props you can take home to care for through the summer as we need begonia nannies until September. A group potting session will be held sometime late July/early August to transplant those begonias growing too big for their prop containers.
May 2: Field trip to Smith College Greenhouses in Northampton, MA We’re excited to be meeting again with Manager Daniel Babineau for a tour through the different environments within the several greenhouses. Last year our host gifted us numerous leaves and cuttings to propagate and he says he has a surprise for us this year! We plan to meet at the greenhouses at 10 (more details to come on carpooling). Plan to pack a lunch that we’ll eat on campus afterwards.
June 7: Buxton’s annual potluck picnic and plant swap with the Gesneriad society at the home of Ginger Hedges in Nashua, NH. Always loads of fun and a great gathering before our summer break. More details and directions to come.
