(Check the website and your email before you (Rain date, Sunday, August 3) The LIDS Annual Picnic is held next to the Wolkoff Garden, under the big maple tree. This is a wonderful way for our volunteers to wander through the garden which is in full bloom, relax with your guests and enjoy good food. Please bring a covered dish, dessert, or salad to share (for about six people) and folding chairs. Please coordinate with Patrick to make sure we will have a sufficient number of main dishes and so that they can all be set out before dinner is served. (A sign up sheet will be available at the July meeting) Sternos and all condiments, paper products, and soft drinks will be provided. Contact Patrick Schildt with questions.)
Picnic Parking When parking in our Garden parking slots please be considerate of members who will be unloading food and also those of us those with limited mobility. It is no longer permissible to park along the park road; there is ample head in parking, in the grass, starting at the end of the chicken houses.
Picnic Raffle Table! Members who have garden produce, jam, flowers, plants, or homemade items you would like to share, please bring it for the picnic raffle table.

LIDS Dahlia Shows Dahlia growers, whether expert or novice come from all points of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and even Rhode Island to display their gardening achievements, hoping to reach the prestigious Court of Honor. Because the cooler weather brings out their vibrant colors, these regional shows are held in September and October when Dahlias are at their peak. The shows are held in the lower level of the Carriage House at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in August and October of this year. See the calendar for dates.
