PLANT ID CONTEST AND PLANT SWAP – SEPT 14 MEETING

The Olde Ripton Garden Club tested their plant skills by identifying fruits and nuts, flowers and foliage plants and ornamental plants including woody plants, vines, ground covers and ornamental grasses at their meeting with a “Fall Bounty Harvest” theme on September 14.

This fun event was very hands-on and enjoyable for gardeners one and all.  A “Plant Mystery” segment helped identify plants that even seasoned gardeners were baffled by.

Also featured at this meeting was a Plant Swap. Tired, old or unwanted plants were swapped out for something new and fresh.  Also, a great time to thin out the beds and share the bounty of your perennials and plants with other gardeners.
