November Happenings at The Wolkoff Garden |
Hello Members! Well, here we are in November, The Big Dig is over, and the Dahlias are drying. Work down at the barn on Thursdays is now over, until Next year. As everyone's garden is getting dug up it's time to put the Dahlias to bed for the winter. Members will meet at the barn for work detail on Wednesday the 15th. No Saturday or Thanksgiving week(end) work. Work detail resumes on Wednesday, November 29th and continues until Joe Lysik, our expert Garden Director, closes it down for the year. Joe will let you know. If you want to help out with the Holiday Arrangements, Holly Sisti could use your help at her house on December 6th, 2023. Please contact her at gardenholly16@gmail.com for her address and time to arrive.
