Weekly HCMG Newsletter for July 21
Last Week’s Monthly Meeting:
Our monthly meeting at Elachee Nature Center was
well-attended, with enthusiastic support for the new 2009
HCMG calendar. Cynthia Taylor, natural resource manager at
Elachee, presented great information regarding invasive
plants. The membership agreed to establish a $4,000 grant
pool for the 2008-2009 school year for special request
Junior Master Gardener projects.

Orders for the new calendar can be registered at the
Extension Office, or from Melanie Clark. The calendar will
also be on sale at the Fall Garden Expo and the Fall
Gardening Symposium. Calendars sell for $10.00 each. What a
DEAL!
