Our raffle baskets have always been a hit, but this year we'll be doing something a little different... stay tuned for more details!

Always try to grow in your garden some plant or plants out of the ordinary, something your neighbors never attempted. For you can receive no greater flattery than to have a gardener of equal intelligence stand before your plant and ask "what is that?" --Richardson Wright

Can you identify this plant?

Bird Baths

If your bird bath has grown an algae scum, a good way to clean it is to use a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Let it sit for about 30 minutes, then rinse it out.

Another suggestion is to pick 6 stems of lavender, wrap them with an elastic band, then float the bundle in the water.  It's worth a try!
