The Leaflet

~ October 2025 ~

Our October meeting is coming up on the 23rd and is going to be a good one. Hilary is coming from Cheekwood to advise us on fall bulb planting. We’ll be voting on a member proposal, giving a Fair recap, and polling on a date for our Christmas party.


We also have a fall work day coming up November 8. It’s time to put the beds to rest for the winter, clean up, mulch, and start thinking about spring. We’ll need as many hands on deck as we can get.


If you want to propose any additional projects for our space, plan on filling out a project proposal with budgetary items included. Don’t spend your own money and assume you’ll be reimbursed without preapproval from our project leads.


Look forward to seeing you!



Beth Hannabass, President
