Several of the gardens had plants identified as “available at the plant exchange”. The Garden Club plans to hold a fund-raising plant exchange this fall, tentatively scheduled for October 13.
Take some time to assess your garden for perennials that have become overgrown or need thinning. Or perhaps the conditions in your yard have changed and you need different kinds of plants. Maybe you’re just ready for something new. Good news! You can divide those overgrown plants, get reasonably priced new ones AND benefit the Garden Club, all at the same time.
More information will be available on the city website at a later date. For now, if you wish, take pictures of plants you plan to divide and save large plastic containers for potting the plants. If you have questions, call or email Pat (338-6252 – pat.yeggy@gmail.com) or Carol Ann (354-7188 – c_christiansen@mchsi.com) and we’ll see if we can’t help. |

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!

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.
