SEPTEMBER MEETING
Southeast Succulents
There was a great turnout for our September meeting. Yasser Woddard brought wonderful plants and was an inspiring, entertaining speaker.
 
 



`

His plant material was second to none, those containers were real eye candy. Many of us went home with new green friends, and hope that a field trip to Southeast Succulents makes the spring schedule. A hands-on workshop would be a lot of fun!




Here are the September minutes for your approval.
