Located just east of Cottage Grove, Log House Plants is a wholesale grower of annuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs, and specialty edibles. Over the past 40 years, Log House Plants has become known for innovation, including introducing grafted vegetables in the United States, such as the Mighty ‘Mato and Ketchup ‘n’ Fries.

On February 4, Alice Doyle, co-­founder of Log House Plants, will join us at Garden Club to introduce this year’s new offerings. We'll get a sampling of some of the nearly 250 new introductions for 2020 as well as Log House's WaterWise Program which features drought-resistant perennials that are perfect for our long, hot summers.

If you've heard Alice speak before, you know she is a treasure-trove of information. This program will be an excellent kick-off to the 2020 growing season!

Garden Planning: January 2020 Garden Club Meeting

Happy New Year!

It's that exciting time of year for gardeners, with the garden catalogs arriving in the mail, new garden tools ready to be used, and hopes of spring peaking around the corner.... we're dreaming and planning this summer's garden.

New plants! New designs! New goals!

At the Cottage Grove Garden Club, we are also dreaming and planning for the coming year... new board members, new committee heads, new programs, new ideas!

Please join us at Garden Club this coming Tuesday, January 7. We'll start the evening with our regular business meeting and electing new officers.

Afterward, we'll be talking about our gardens and our plans for the upcoming year. This will be a group activity! Please bring garden magazines, books, and some of those garden catalogs you've been getting in the mail to show and share with others. Then, Maggie will lead us in a group circle where we'll talk about garden design and preferences. Come prepared with your questions, and ready to share your experience and knowledge.

Also, please remember to bring your 2020 membership dues.... only $15 per person/ $20 per couple.

The Garden Club's informal business meeting begins at 6 PM and the Garden Planning Circle runs from 7 to 8 PM. All guests and visitors welcome. Light refreshments provided.
