We are nearing the end of a terrific year in gardening. We have continued work on our existing
projects at Highland Rim, the White House Library, YMCA Garden, Greenbrier Historic House and downtown
office planters. We’ve also expanded to include new experiments in the blueberry patches,
greenhouse improvements, and the cut flower trials. Our meeting room changed to provide more space
for more members and we have moved Tree Day and the Plant Sale to HR as well. RCMGA’s participation
in Tobacco, Beef and More has increased and our Spring Seminar gave new information to both members
of the club and members of the general public. We have a terrific monthly newsletter, Constant
Contact emails, Face Book page and our website, all facilitated by volunteers to keep our members
informed. Monthly meeting speakers included invasive species eradication, lavender propagation, a
tour of Highland Rim, planting fall bulbs, Dirt Fish and more. Add in participation in local
festivals, the County Fair, the Annual Picnic, Jackson Celebration, and whew! It’s been a great year. I know I have not remembered everything and apologize for leaving things out, but I appreciate everything you have all done to keep our group moving forward. Definitely looking forward to 2026.
