Summer in the Garden

The Olde Ripton Garden Club is warming up to summer! A meeting has been scheduled for July 2 and the Club has arranged for a wonderful program that promises to be filled with discussion about gardening this season and beyond.

The Club Horticulture Chair will present a program on “Planting a Butterfly Garden.”  Members will bring sample flowers from their gardens for display in either formal arrangement or designs.

The Olde Ripton Garden Club will meet on Monday, July 2 at Plumb Memorial Library, 10 am in the Community Room (downstairs), 65 Wooster Street, Shelton.  Visitor fee is $5 and refreshments will be served.

A member drive is currently underway for the Club.  The Olde Ripton Garden Club encourages new members to join at any level of gardening – from beginner to master gardener! Projects include working on community gardens around town, holiday decorating at public buildings in Shelton, a garden therapy program with seniors, and youth gardening in Shelton schools.  Annual dues for membership is $35 for monthly meetings (except January & February). Meetings include speakers, a light lunch, great conversation and friendly activities.   Interested parties are invited to attend a meeting to see if they want to join.  For more information visit www.olderiptongardenclub.org or Like Us on Facebook at:  facebook.com/SheltonORGC.
