Guild
Meeting

Garden Council House

Susan Poel called the meeting to order. The minutes from the May
meeting were unanimously approved.
Margie Orell announced that we have one new member, Cathy Kasem,
and one guest present.
Mary Beth Collins stated that the Guild had $6,230.29 in the
bank, minus the $200 franchise fee that is being paid to the state.
Susan Poel thanked those who pitched in to provide refreshments
for the meeting – Suzanne Williams, Mary Beth Collins, Lana Andrews, Debbie
Bouton, Ann Baldwin, and Susan Poel.
Lana
encouraged members to bring a guest to the July meeting and any extra herbs
that they have in abundance. The program should be fun and informative. We will
be discussing, demonstrating different ways to use herbs.
If you have any ideas, recipes, crafts and so on, please talk to Lana to about
including them in the program. The August meeting is at Savory
Spices and is about making soups.
Mary Ann Nagel asked that any interested members help out at the
Hezekiah Alexander House this Friday, June 14 at 9:30.
Mary Beth Collins presented on the Herb of the Month, English Thyme.
Ann
Baldwin introduced our speaker, Jill Rogers. Many members may know Jill, who is
a recent past president of the Charlotte Council of Garden Clubs, a Council
House Trustee, and a member of the Sardiswood Garden Club. Jill was gracious
enough to share her experiences and pictures of the Chelsea Flower Market and
her visit to several gardens around England. Jill highly
recommends using Back Roads Tours. She was with a small group of 15 or so
people for eight days. The overnight accommodations were in quaint villages.
Handouts were supplied on the four main types of gardens and the roster of
gardens visited. One
member mentioned that you can see recordings of the Chelsea Flower Market on
YouTube.
The
meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully,
Susan Oleson, Beth
Burgin, and Debbie Bouton
