University Heights Garden Club

 
 
The University Heights Garden Club
was formed in order to design, plant and maintain the flower bed in the city-owned triangle area at the intersection of Melrose, Koser and Golfview. It was started last year by Scott and Carol Ann Christiansen of 1461 Grand Ave. It meets nearly every Saturday at 9:30 a.m. from April until the frost in the fall. (A sign is posted in the garden for notification.)
Come once, twice or every week to help.
The purchase of plants, services, mulch, etc. for the city garden is covered entirely by donations, and the club would like to add more city garden areas in the future. Donations are always appreciated!

Garden Club News (April 2009)
The University Heights Garden Club will soon be starting their spring work. Our treasury is almost depleted, so donations are needed and appreciated. We have some purple sage and coral bells to divide and give away. Call Carol Ann (354-7188) or Pat (338-6252) for details.

We want to plant hostas by the shelter, so if anyone has hosta to donate, also contact Pat or Carol Ann. We need your support!

There is a special account at Hills Bank for the garden club. Make checks out to Carol Ann Christiansen (not to Garden Club because we're not set up as a non-profit.) The books are open for viewing at the garden club meetings. Meetings are on some Saturday mornings at 9:30 a.m. A sign is posted in the garden before upcoming meeting dates. Bring your garden tools, or just a cup for coffee and some ideas you want to share. Taste on Melrose generously lets us use their outdoor patio to meet and greet.
