Looking Ahead to September 19

As you may have guessed, the photos in this post are included here merely to catch a reader’s attention. The main purpose of this post is to publicize the Chester Garden Club’s first meeting of the fall season, to be held on September 19.
The format of this event will be slightly different from the usual. Members and guests will first meet at 6:30 pm in the Cove Garden, Water Street, for the dedication of a plaque honouring Mickie and Rudy Haase for their life-long interest in ecology and their commitment to preserving natural spaces from destruction by over-development. The plaque is a joint effort by the Garden Club and a local group called Friends of Nature, which is active in increasing public awareness about environmental issues, and which includes a number of garden club members in its roster.
Following the dedication, members will proceed to St Stephen’s Parish Community Centre for a plant sale (perennials), refreshments and a short business meeting to prepare for the forthcoming fall session.
