February days

Already, the days are growing longer and, when we're not lamenting the treacherous ice underfoot on Chester pathways, we're exchanging cheerful greetings with our neighbours about the brighter skies and the welcome warmth of the sun. According to the calendar, there are now more winter days behind us than ahead. That fact, along with the welcome arrival of seed catalogues, is a cause for celebration. To encourage local gardeners who are looking ahead to the pleasures of spring, we're posting a few shots taken in last year's
gardens. If any members have garden photos they'd like to share on-line, we'd be happy to oblige. Just click on "Contact Us" in the space
above and send us an e-mail.

Water gardens, with their population of colourful fish, are a delightful feature of many gardens.

Your Club blogger is in the process of updating some of the information on the club's blog. The Program Committee's schedule of events for the year will be on the site soon, along with news of other events. Please be patient as we go through a learning process. In the meantime, please note that the Club has no meeting scheduled for February. The first meeting of the year will take place on March 16th.
