May 5th – Planting a bog garden

Our May 5th meeting (note the date change-Not May 12th) will be a demonstration class of a mini bog garden (a small portable bog in a container) during the growing and dormancy seasons. Don Schiller has written a build and seasonal care sheet handout for the bog, and Brian Nightingale will provide a demonstration of creating his own mini bog to enjoy for years to come.

Please join us May 5th at 3pm for this demonstration class.
The meeting will be at the Ramsey-Washington Watershed Office (2665 Noel Dr, Little Canada, MN 55117) in Little Canada.

UMCPS Meeting 3/10 @ 3:00 – Seed Starting

Come, talk to us, and please, please take plants home.
We will have soil, pots (if we can find them…) and … seeds. Ping pullings. Pings in a compot that need dividing! Seed that may need to be set on fire! (No, really. Biblys, like Jack Pine only germinates with smoke.)

This meeting will feature getting messy!
We will also do a short talk on how to plant seeds and special requirements needed (if any.)  Please come and ask questions if you have plants you want to propagate.

The meeting will be at the Ramsey-Washington Watershed Office (2665 Noel Dr, Little Canada, MN 55117) in Little Canada.

March 10th at the usual time of 3 pm.

UMCPS Planning meeting and member visit

We will be meeting Sunday, Jan 13th at 3pm, at a member’s house in Plymouth.  Please RSVP. We need a head count, and there will be a plant for those that attend.

We will enjoy visiting Matt’s plants! Checking out how another of our members grows their plants. We were there a couple of years ago, so we will see the improvements and changes.

We will also be planning the meetings for next year and the election for our Treasurer. Micheala is willing to stand for re-election, but will be unable to attend.

Given the start of the year, everyone needs to renew their membership. ($10 for the year.) Any member in good standing can nominate themselves for the position. Votes will be taken by email, if you are so inclined.

Proposals for talks will be gladly accepted! Either by email or in person.
If you have an area of specialty, feel free to come talk about it.

Hope you can all make it!

Nov 11th – Dormancy, or bringing them back from the dead

This meeting will be a round table discussion of dormancy.
How to get them to (finally) go dormant, and how to make sure that they will come out of dormancy eventually, maybe even at the right time.
Bring your success stories and, of course, your horror stories. Let us see what works for others and what is really a bad idea.

The meeting will be at the Ramsey-Washington Watershed Office (2665 Noel Dr, Little Canada, MN 55117) in Little Canada.
Sept 9th at the usual time of 3 pm.
