An April blizzard?
As a precaution, and since most of us have not gotten the drives cleared, we are going to cancel the meeting today.
Maybe we will not have another snow storm for our May meeting…
Stay safe.
The UMCPS will be selling plants at the AVSM sale in Northtown mall this Friday, April 6th (10 - 7) and Saturday, April 7th (10 - 4) or until we sell out.
We have a small selection of plants. A few butterworts, some sundews and to get the summer off to a fine start a few venus fly traps!
The next social meeting will be on April 15th, not the second weekend. We will be meeting at Venn Brewing, located at Hiawatha and 46th. The usual time of 3pm to talk about those plants we love!

Sadly, we have had to cancel today’s meeting. Sorry for the late notice. Hope to see you at our next one.
Since it is about this time of year that our plants go dormant, Richard will be leading a round table discussion about dormancy.
Getting them into dormancy is not usually the problem. How to prepare your plants so they actually come OUT of dormancy, now that is tougher!
Come prepared to discuss what works and what you may have tried that did not work.
The meeting will be back at the Ramsey-Washington Watershed Office (2665 Noel Dr, Little Canada, MN 55117) in Little Canada.
November 12th at the usual time of 3 pm.
