For our September meeting we welcomed Robin L. Avant who introduced us to “Indoor Gardening and Hydroponics.”

Robin is currently employed at Housatonic Community College as the Dean of Academic and Student Affairs.  Her teaching capabilities include:  Forensic Science, Introduction to Biology, Introduction to Biotechnology, Genetics and Bio-Molecular Science.

Robin’s presentation included indoor gardening of vegetables and the steps needed to grow vegetables using Hydroponics.

In April 2020, Robin became the published author of the book entitled, “The Spirit of Gardening- Gardening for New Bees” and recently launched new programming in urban agriculture, gardening, and hydroponics under her company Robin Springs, LLC.

At the conclusion of Robin’s presentation, a gift basket with gardening items was raffled off to the club members.

Joan Mauri was the lucky winner of the gift basket.

 

Taken from our August meeting our Horticulture Table was a collection of beautiful underwater floral designs created by club members.

Our Swap and Share Table had vegetables from Holly Secskas’ garden and donated floral stoneware.

Teya Bell showed us how to dry flower heads to collect seeds.

Debbie Garrow created a delicious, beautifully decorated cake for our luncheon.
