​​Sat. June 21st, 2025, for SUMMER SOLSTICE we will meet at 10 AM at King Park, which is across and a little up from the municipal building. The address for the park 4200 Gallatin St., and there is street parking. If you are able, please walk, bike, or carpool. We will attempt to snag the gazebos for socializing, snacks, and appreciation of the native plantings that were made to improve the park. The list of what was planted can be seen here​. It would be a help if we can locate each species and take some notes on how the plants are doing for the City, and we can also get ideas for our own yards. I will be making black raspberry cheesecake bars (berries from my garden!) to share, in case you need to be enticed away from your gardening.
​
Sat. July 19th, 2025 we will meet at the Hyattsville Municipal Bldg. (4310 Gallatin Street, Hyattsville; OK to park onsite, first floor multi-purpose room). The focus will be socialization, snacks (feel free to bring) and to plan a shared bulk bulb order for anyone interested. The bulk discounts available may pleasantly surprise you! If you might be interested, please browse the Van Engelen website in advance and jot down any specific or general items to look at together.
