Coral Gables Garden Tour

 Audrey Abrams went on this last year and highly recommends it.  Garden lovers are in for a real treat on Saturday, March 5 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. when The Villagers, Inc. hosts its 21st annual Garden Tour. This year’s tour, “Private Gardens of Old Cutler,” features several outstanding gardens in the Old Cutler Road area of Coral Gables.  Advance tickets can be purchased for $25 from any Villager member. Tickets will also be available for $30 at either 8545 Old Cutler Road or 5495 Hammock Drive on the day of the tour. For further information, call 305-661-2560 or 305-235-3008.  Here is the link.

Begonia Propagation Workshops

 Propagation workshops are a free benefit of membership.  You will go home with a tray of cuttings, and bags full of other things, not just begonias.  Things to bring: gloves, scissors, pencil, plant name tags, and plant trays that annuals come in.  If you don't have trays, I will have extras.  The club will provide pots and potting medium.  You can go to either one or both.

Saturday, March 19, 10 a.m.  Doris Happel's house.  Call Doris, if you have questions: 561-434-3745.

Saturday, April 16  Nancy Cohen's house.
