ICONIC STYLE
The 2018 Zone II Annual Flower Show is in New Canaan, CT this
June 13 & 14th. Always fun and educational, this year Nancy
Compton and Alice Nichols will be attending the show and Alice
will be designing for the floral requirement. Our Club horticulture
requirement is for one gavel challenge Asclepia plant
(Common Milkweed) grown from seed; 2 cut specimens
(choices from current flowering species); and one mixed
container for class 13, EARTH. Earth is a monochromatic
pot-et-fleurs design in a container no larger than 24". If anyone
wishes to assist or would like more information on designing
and submitting this display please contact Kathleen Leddy!
Love to hear from you!!
SOW & GROW
The GCA Basic Plant Propagation Handbook (2012) is a small
16 page booklet that covers the basics of how to sow and grow.
It has recently been republished and is now available to GCA
members. I have 2 free copies if anyone would like them,
otherwise they can be ordered at $3 each form GCA Headquarters.
