Ice Cream Social slide show features your garden photos.

Our July meeting will be our popular Ice Cream Social featuring Helen Baird’s PowerPoint presentation of photographs from our members’ own gardens. During this hot season when it’s best to just stay out of the sun, we look forward to celebrating not only our country’s freedom, but also the bountiful harvest of our gardens. We have plenty to be thankful for. Helen has also included slides of our tomato-selling activities and our regional meeting.

Bring your Ice Cream and Toppings at 6:30 p.m.

We will serve immediately after everyone has put their ice cream and toppings on the long tables. Look for the labels directing you where to put Ice Cream, cakes, brownies, fresh fruits and nuts; chocolate, strawberry and other syrups. What to bring? Bring what you would like to eat! Please be generous! Invite your friends and family! We encourage it! This is a potluck, so be sure to bring additional ice cream and toppings if you bring extra people. If you didn’t already sign up at the June meeting, please RSVP how many in your party and what you plan to bring. We want set up enough round tables to accommodate everyone. Remember to bring serving spoons.

Participate and learn during the informal question and answer period.

At our July meeting, about the time some of us are patting our tummies and pushing back from the tables and others are refilling their ice cream bowls, Bill Carls will lead us in a casual discussion of what’s happening in our gardens now. We all enjoy the chance to learn successful gardening techniques and hear about the challenges other members have faced. This just might give us the spark we need to start thinking about preparing our gardens for the next season. Oh, how we love gardening!
