We all
want to be safe, so please help that happen!
* If you are feeling even the
least bit sick, please stay home!
* Masks are absolutely
required.
* We will be outside (if
rainy, in the garage, door open).
* We will provide hand
sanitizer, but if you have a personal bottle, bring it for your own
usage.
* Physical spacing will be
urged, even when mulling over bulb options.
* No food - that would just
temp us to remove our masks. (Bring your own beverage if you

PERENNIAL
PLANT SWAP
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have divided perennials, such as daylilies,
peonies, hostas, iris, etc., feel free to bring to share!
|
|
Bring
plant divisions if you wish to share!
If you have any plant
divisions that you'd like to unload, please bring them. Hostas,
daylilies, peonies, iris, coneflowers, etc. are all welcome!
It's entirely possible someone else will happily take them!
(However, if no one does, you will need to take them back home
again.)
|
|
STAY FOR
TRAILER DISCUSSION
|
|
We own a
17' trailer, and are considering selling it - input please!
DSM owns a 17' V-nose trailer,
in which we have stored supplies for our spring  show, and crates for
bulbs. The usage has not worked out the way we originally
anticipated, and storing the trailer is about to get expensive.
- update on recent theft
and recovery of the trailer
- current storage
situation
- if trailer is sold,
options for storing the show supplies
- costs
It
will be helpful if we can make some decisions about the trailer and
supplies storage. We hope you can stay to participate (it
shouldn't take too long).

PREVIEW OF 2021
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keep your fingers crossed for a 2021 show!
|
|
We HOPE
to have a spring show in 2021!
We hope that we will be able
to hold a daffodil show in the spring. We have reserved our
usual location at the Bachman's on Lyndale. Put these dates on
your calendar:
All other potential events are
up in the air. We may need to have our Annual Meeting by a
virtual method in January, and who knows about other
activities.
Stay tuned, stay
healthy. And we hope to see you this coming Saturday, September
12th!
