Dear Members:
Happy New Year! I am grateful for the rain (although I am sorry about the flooding).

We are gearing up for the new plant year! There will be a plant propagation potting event at 11 AM (note new time), on Sunday, January 8, 2023, at Shasta College. We will likely be working in the greenhouse, potting starts from Cornflower Farms. Please let me know if you plan to attend (susan.libonati@gmail.com).

I am hoping for good native gardens and wonderful wild walks in the coming season. As always, thank you for your participation in our group.

Wishing you just the right amount of rain in 2023.
~Susan Libonati-Barnes, President
