What you can expect from The Old Dutch Village Garden Club in 2011
The Old Dutch Village Garden Club located in Red Hook is off to a great start in 2011. Just last month there was an interesting and informative talk on garden tools by Nick Digugno, a new member. Nick also provided a handout for attendees which will be a handy reference during the gardening season.
Here are examples of upcoming events.
- April 12 is the anniversary luncheon. This club has been around since 1953.
- May 12 the talk will be on Organic fertilizers for flowers and vegetables, just in time for spring planting.
- May 20 will be the annual plant and bake sale. This is a great opportunity to get plants for your garden at a very reasonable cost.
- June 9 a Talk entitled: Everything you ever wanted to know about composting.
- July 14 is the annual picnic.
- September 8 There will be a talk given by Margaret Roach who was voted by the Hudson Valley Magazine as having the best gardening blog.
- And there is much more.

Jennifer the talk on June 9th is one that I can relate to. My wife tells me every morning what an expert I am at composting :)
As a garden club member in my area, I'm very interested in seeing what this club does. Thanks for posting the photo, too.
Jennifer, you just gave me a great idea - I've always sponsored the Desert Botanical Gardens here in Phoenix, but I've never looked into gardening clubs. I know what I'll be searching online tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.
