Sue's News

Well, it is August, the time when everyone is thinking of the dog days of summer and of the Hosta auction. What, not everyone is thinking of the hosta auction!? Well, I hope you are thinking of it now! I hope that everyone who is able to donate plants or garden items, or bid on those things, comes to our auction this month. It is our main fund raiser for the club, and requires the members to participate enthusiastically in order to be successful. It really is great fun to bid for items, and there is generally something for everyone - rich, not so rich, green thumb, black thumb, whoever you may be. I hope to see you there.

I want to thank Connie for sharing her garden last month. It was a perfect evening, and a wonderful garden! I used to think that I had a large garden, but Connie has convinced me otherwise! The variety of trees, hostas, and other plants she has is amazing, and I know that I have only scratched the surface on my visits. Thanks again to Connie, and I hope to see you all this month at the auction at ICC!

Warmly,

Sue Eckhoff, CIHS President
