May 2016 Newsletter and Meeting on Saturday, May 21

The next part of the program is, hopefully, very exciting. All the Chrysanthemums are
SUPPOSED to arrive the first of that week. I will bring them, the pots, the soil and care
instructions. Sue will bring us some grafting tape to bind the plants. All we will do this
meeting is get the plants bound and potted and go over the care instructions. You will
take them home and give them the needed attention. The first step with a plant species
is to keep it healthy and strong. At our June meeting we will see how the plants are
doing and hopefully, move on to the next step of wiring. HERE’S TO A SUCCESSFUL
NEW ADVENTURE.
