President's Letter - April 2025

Well, it’s officially spring with warm weather and longer days beckoning us out into the garden. It’s also officially the beginning of our volunteer season and we have lots of activities to connect us with our community. I encourage you all to consider volunteering at one of our 12 plant clinics, an April or May community event, or at one of our six demonstration gardens.

I’d like to recognize our Speakers Bureau organizers, MGs Allen Perper, John Thomas, and Sharon LaVallee, for connecting our MG speakers with garden clubs, schools, and libraries for presentations. I’ve been able to attend a few of our speaker talks in person, and they were very informative and professionally presented.

I want to send a note of thanks to all MGs as we work to order and receive materials in a timely manner. As a reminder, when MGs pick up materials in the Ballard room, please use the sign-out sheet to record your name and the items you are picking up. We thank you for your patience as we work through this process.

I appreciate everyone's commitment to the MCMG's mission and hope that you will be able to volunteer for some of the upcoming activities. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Linda
