January 2011 Events

We had an excellent speaker at Garden Club this month – Brett, from BRING Recycling, talked about reducing, reusing, recycling, and rethinking. It was an engaging presentation and full of information.

If you are hungry for more garden-related information here are a couple other events happening in the Cottage Grove/Eugene area this month:

Tuesday, January 11, 7 pm. The Willamette Valley Hardy Plant Group will present John Greenlee. Mr. Greenlee’s talk will give a good introduction to the creation of meadow-like spaces in urban and suburban settings. Doors open at 6:30 for book sales and viewing botanical samples. Admission is $6 for non-members and free for members.

Saturday, January 15, 1pm. The North American Rock Garden Society will feature Norm Kalbfleisch speaking on the “Plants of Japan”. The talk is free and open to the public. Door prizes and refreshments follow. Location: the Eugene Garden Club, 1645 High St.

Monday, January 17th, 7pm. Ernie and Marietta O’Byrne will speak on “Late Winter & Early Spring in the Garden–Culture and Combinations” at the Avid Gardeners meeting at the Eugene Garden Club, 1645 High St. This program will illustrate plant choices for the late winter/early spring garden, including hellebores, podophyllums, early bulbs, winter interest shrubs, and much more. The presentation will include cultural tips regarding the plants discussed.

Additionally:
On Tuesday, January 18, a nine week Master Recycler class begins at the Creswell Community Center. This promises to be an interesting class. Contact Kelly L Bell, Master Recycler Coordinator Lane County Public Works, kelly.bell@co.lane.or.us
