Gardening in our Golden Years: May 2013

About Our Group

When we were young gardeners, our days would quickly melt into nights as we amended, weeded, plotted, planned, and planted our gardens. Aches and pains could be soothed soaking in a hot tub at night followed by restful sleep that allowed us to repeat the process again the next day. We dreamed of more plants and more land – there would never be enough. It was a way of life that we would never dream of leaving behind.

We are now all at least sixty years old - a group of passionate gardeners with a more realistic approach to our gardening. We do not want to let it all go, but we feel the need to get it under control. Our bodies do not heal overnight. We take breaks and quit before dark. As a group, we share our experiences, learn from each other, and provide mutual support and encouragement to continue to enjoy gardening through our golden years.

Membership is limited at our monthly meetings. Those on our waiting list can visit this site and keep up with our group discussions. This Blog will continue to be refined over time – just like us!

Afternoon Tea in April 2013

Thanks to Joan and Jack for hosting our Tea in their lovely home and to Jepi and Sarah for putting together a fabulous spread of delectable homemade goodies. What a wonderful and fun filled afternoon with good food, good company, and tour of Joan's and Jack's beautiful garden. I hope everyone enjoys reliving the day through the pictures.

Making sure everything is ready.....
