NASSAU BAY GARDEN CLUB
Becky Kadel, President of the Nassau Bay Garden Club While the region is still experiencing temperatures in the 90’s, we are assured that cooler weather is on the way. This is the time to plant those cold weather vegetables like broccoli, kale and cauliflower. These can be planted now for harvest later. Also, consider cold weather herbs like cilantro. Don’t forget to decorate your area with pumpkins and squash. The Garden Club is moving into their fall preparations by helping with the Fall Sweep on Saturday, November 6. Leaves can be collected now to place on your delicate plants when the weather turns cold in the winter. The program for the November 9 meeting will be about the Eastern Glades. The Club will begin taking reservations for their Christmas Luncheon at Lakewood Yacht Club. This event will be held on Wednesday, December 8, and the cost will be $30.
