I was reading Ear to the Ground (the Upstate Gardeners' Journal blog) and saw that Sycamore Hill Gardens will have another open day this year to benefit Central New York Land Trust. There will also be a plant sale. I know several of us have talked about going but most of us haven't made it yet. This tour will be Saturday, June 19th from 11 to 4. Tickets are $8 advance and $10 at the door. Click here for more details and to see pictures of the gardens.
If you go please take lots of pictures to share with the rest of us!

Last Minute
Without the "last minute" I'd never get anything done. With our Garden Tour and Plant Sale just a couple of days away the last minute is here! The tour and sale is this Saturday, June 20th, at the Pulaski Wesleyan Church on Route 11 from 10 - 2.
If you signed up to bring refreshments get baking! If you didn't sign up but can bring something please do. Refreshments should be dropped off at the church at 9 a.m.
Hopefully everyone has been busy potting up plants for the sale but if you're like me and haven't yet, there is still time. Please be sure to label your plants with as much information as possible - name, color, sun or shade, height, bloom time, etc. The more information you can provide the better. Plants should be dropped off at the church by 9 a.m. However if you are unable to drop them off Saturday you may drop them off on Friday after 6 p.m. They should be left under the big tree in the yard next to the church parking lot.
We have three tents to set up on Saturday morning and lots of other little things that will need to be done so if you can help out please be at the church between 8:30 and 9:00. Many hands make for light work!
See you Saturday!

May Newsletter
The April meeting was held at Three Mums and we received a very warm welcome from Carol and Nancy. They are now open for the season so be sure to stop by.
Plant Sale
Our 1st Annual Plant Sale will be held May 16th in the South Park in Pulaski (near the bandstand). The sale will run from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m - rain or shine. Fliers were handed out at the April meeting. If you didn't get any or need more you can print them off (right click, then save). Nancy Cheaver is our chairperson. Hopefully having it the same time and place every year will make it as profitable as possible.
Please get your plants potted up now so that they will look great on the day of the sale. Plants should be labeled with as much information as possible including name, sun requirements, color, size, etc. Plants should be dropped off at the park about 9 a.m. For those of us that can not drop off our plants at that time, two members have graciously agreed to to take plants ahead of time. Please contact either Claire Whitter, 270 Maltby Rd at 298-3003 or Marlene Connor, 315 Hinman at 298-2189.
Tables and awnings have been volunteered. The sign-up sheet is almost full and we can always use more help. If you are working please bring your own chair. Left over plants will be saved for our plant sale at the June 20th Garden Tour.
Vic Ladd-deGraff has volunteered to make up a Gardening Friends Club information sheet that we can hand out at both the Plant Sale and Garden Tour. It will tell who we are, what we do, when we meet, etc. The bottom will be designed so it can be torn off and used to join the club.
Community Service
One of the things Gardening Friends Club does is help others. Jean McKown and Laura Kehoe are on the committee to help with the landscaping at the Sandy Creek Library. They need 2 or 3 other people to help with this community service outreach project. Call Marci Groman at 387-3329 if you can volunteer. Also Nancy Cheever is doing the plant sale for the Sandy Creek Library May 9th from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.. It is part of their Plant, Book, Bake Sale fund raiser. If you can volunteer to help please contact Nancy at 232-2665. If you can't help, you can always go there and spend money!
Garden Tour
This year our Garden Tour and Plant Sale will be on June 20th from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and will start from the Pulaski Wesleyan Church on Route 11. Advance sale tickets are $5 and will be available at the Plant Dale on May 16th. Tickets on the day of the tour will be $8. Volunteers are still needed. Some of the jobs are advertisement, putting up balloons, host garden helper, greeters, ticket cashiers, welcome signs and refreshment donations from everyone. Barb Smith, Phil Reed and Linda Cough are the Garden Tour Committee.
Oswego County Fair
The County Fair was discussed. Nancy Dailey is very active with the Fair Committee and is encouraging as many people as possible to enter arrangements. We will also be forming a committee to do the club's booth. The theme is Backyard Pleasures and the set up day is June 30th. We have won the last few years and the prize is $75. Nancy Dailey will have raffle tickets for the quilt drawing at the May meeting.
May Meeting
Our next meeting will be May 20th, 7 p.m., at the Pulaski Wesleyan Church on Route 11. Guest speakers, Jan Smith and Donna and Ron James from Enchanted Acres in Fulton, will be talking about irises and hostas.
Dues will be accepted into June, however it would be a great help if anyone who has yet paid would do so at the May meeting.

Sycamore Hill Gardens
A road trip to Sycamore Hill Gardens has been suggested for a Saturday in August. I believe that August 9th was unavailable but the rest of the month had open dates. Our President would like your feedback as to a date at the July Picnic. So check your calendars ahead of time and if you won't be attending the picnic be sure to contact her ahead of time with your preference or leave a comment here. It sounds like a fun trip!
(No emails to me please, I just have to forward them on to her)

Garden Walk Buffalo
My sister and I spent a weekend in Buffalo last year touring many city gardens that were open for the weekend. Garden Walk Buffalo is free and I hear that they have over 300 gardens available for touring again this year. If you want a great weekend gardening getaway considering going this year. Garden Walk is always the last weekend in July.
More information can be found at the Garden Walk home page here and there was a great article in the Buffalo news here.
We wrote about our trip last year and posted all of the pictures we took here.
