Magnolias enjoy getting together each momth… discussing our gardening successes…problems…plant or bug related…listening to speakers who discusss Garden-related topics… and, of course, food.
Each year at our dump-salad April meeting, we break into several small groups, to make a list of topics of interest, and any field trips we might like to take. Then each participant gets 7 stickers to vote on their favorite topic for next year’s meetings.
We welcome all members – new and current – to our fun-loving group!!!
