Lily workshop March 28th

Dear DIGS memebrs:
On this coming Sunday, March 28, I will be hosting an Open House and Show-and-Tell on propagating and cultivating native lilies. I have been growing these beautiful and sometimes endangered flowers for some years and have some experience I would be happy to share with all who are interested.

Come and see:
- four species of native lilies of various ages (thousands of them!)
- seven year old fawn lilies grown from seed, blooming for the first
time
- other interesting native plants such as the native orchid

Learn about:
- why these plants are special
- seed collection and saving
- cultivation methods and requirements
- pests and control thereof

Go home with:
- an increased awareness of our local flora
- ideas for creating a “wild spot” in your garden
- seeds for planting in your yard
- potted lilies for free (!!)


Time: 10.30 a.m. Sunday March 28 (rain or shine)
There is no cost, but any donations would be appreciated. All proceeds go to the PI Cultural and Historical Society and the Community Garden.
Please contact me by phone or email so that I have an idea of numbers. I hope to see many of you there! Anyone who brings some cookies gets first dibs on the free plants!
