Tonight, we welcomed special guest, Oren Hercz who treated us to some delicious herbal remedies for cold and flu season!  Thanks for a great attendance on such a cold night!

Keep an eye out for the perennial order being posted by this weekend!  Share it with family, friends and neighbors this month and bring the order forms and cash/cheques to the Feb.27 meeting!  We always look forward to this annual fund-raiser and we hope you'll enjoy the variety in this year's selections!

Next month, we will have another special guest, Niki Jabbour, who will be educating us on the intricacies of year round vegetable gardening.  If you are so inclined, Nikki's book is available in stores or on-line in hard-cover, paperback, and e-book formats.  

We know that this topic will leave you inspired to get gardening so we'll be starting the evening off with a seed swap!  Bring your seed stash and some baggies or envelopes and get started on this year's garden planning! 

Once again, we will be collecting donations for our food bank who helps support local families in need.

It's going to be a busy night so we'll plan to start collecting the perennial orders at 7pm!  We'll aim for Niki's talk to begin shortly after 7:30pm.

Hope to see you there! :)
