Most gardens are now in full bloom. We've completed spring cleanup at our local city gardens and are enjoying our own personal gardening pleasures.

Charlevoix Lavender Farm
Barnard Rd
Charlevoix, MI 49720
231.335.4542
Our guest speakers are owners of Charlevoix Lavender. The farm is on part of the original property that Craig’s grandparents, Jack and Frances Boss, purchased in 1930 as they began to raise their family. Dairy cattle and cash crops are where it all started.
In 2009 Craig and Erica purchased the land. Lavender entered the scene to help beautify the property and quickly earned its place as the plants thrived in the naturally loamy and balanced soil. They began developing unique products that are now sold locally at farmer’s markets, festivals, and online. Join us to learn more interesting information on the behind the scenes operation of growing this aesthetically pleasing and relatively forgiving plant.
Business meeting to follow.

Planning Meeting for the Plant Sale.
Depot Beach
Members will meet to plan for the annual plant sale. The sale will take place at Ferry Beach on Saturday, August 31 from 9:00 to 11:30. We will review and assign plant sale tasks. Many hands makes light work. :) Reminders of what to bring and how to label plant donations will be shared. We will also discuss and determine where to donate unsold plants at this meeting.
This meeting traditionally involves a pot luck meal. Please remember to bring a dish to pass! Bring your own plates and utensils.
