Old Business
Plant Sale
| There are still many volunteer jobs that need to be filled. |
| Last year there were not enough member plants. Member plants are usually natives and perennials, which are a big attraction to customers. |
| Please do not use wooden sticks for prices. Put your initials on the PLASTIC sticks. If you put your initials on the plastic sticks, 50% of the price of the plant will go back to you. Put RFGC on the plastic sticks if you want all of the money to go to the club. |
| Set-up for the sale starts at 4:00pm on Friday. Please bring your plants on Friday! |
| Last year members purchased too many of the plants before the sale started, leaving a diminished number of perennials for the public. If you do not contribute to the sale, please do not buy excessive amounts of plants. |
Announcements
| The next meeting is June 5. Ursula P will be the speaker with more about the history of River Falls. |
| August 5 is the field trip to Shady Acres in Chaska, MN. There will also be a side trip to the MN Landscape Arboretum. |
