Co-President’s Message – April 2025

Those of you who were at the March meeting and saw my foot attire that morning will not be surprised to learn that my garden clean-up thus far this year has basically been a no-go. But the iris leaves are up, the columbine plants have appeared, and I see the tarragon is emerging at the bottom of the stems I haven’t yet cut down. At my CT house, on the walls of the back hall, I wrote 32 garden sayings to keep me inspired. The one that comes to me now is “Nothing looks as beautiful as next year’s garden”. So just in case I never get caught up this year, there’s always next year

I have managed to get my seeds sown and there are few things as exciting for a gardener than to see those little sprouts poking through the soil. With that theme in mind, our April meeting at Masa Seed Foundation (on 75th St. in Boulder) should be a very interesting morning. This non-profit exists to help fight hunger as well as to provide education for sustainable gardens and farms. We are fortunate to have such a great organization so near to us. Because we are “off campus” for our April meeting, while the time for us to start will still be 10:00, no coffee and goodies will be available so please bring your own. Additionally, if you can carpool with someone near you, that will help with the parking at Masa.

The day prior to our April meeting is the 55th anniversary of Earth Day. What better way to celebrate than with your gardening friends!

See you there,                                                                                                                                                     Connie
