Announcements

   July 10  –   Garden Open House, 9 am - Noon.
Join Penn State Master Gardeners for their annual Demo Garden Open House. This year the event will be held simultaneously at two locations - the Berks County Agriculture Center and the Heritage Herb Garden at the Red Bridge Recreation Center. Admission is free and both locations offer ample parking and handicap access.
For more information, call 610-378-1327.

   Volunteers are still needed to assist with the financial audit, the By-Laws review, and for the 25th Anniversary committee. Any member is qualified for these jobs and will not require much time. We'd love to see some new folks get involved so DON'T BE SHY! Give it some thought and call any board member to see what you can do for your Hort Club. Thank You!

  Food Co-op Underway:    A new food co-op is getting underway and welcomes gardeners willing to work in an organic greenhouse and outside garden on Brownsville Road near State Hill in exchange for organic food year round. The goal is for a food co-op/CSA set up with food to sustain 15 to 20 people, with excess to be sold at a roadside stand or market. Contact: dave@eatmogreens.com or 610-568-2035.
