Coming up in October – “Fire Engine Red, Russet and Bronze; A Look at Trees and Shrubs for Fall” Color”

For our October meeting we welcome Adam Wheeler of Broken Arrow Nursery in Hamden.

We will learn about the hallmark colors of the New England Landscape, why they develop as they do and how they can be promoted.  He will showcase a diverse selection of landscape trees and shrubs for brightening your home gardens.

Founded in 1976, the Olde Ripton Garden Club (ORGC) of Shelton, Connecticut is a community of garden enthusiasts committed to sharing the love of gardening and conservation.  We provide education in horticulture and assist in beautifying the grounds around public buildings.

Meetings are held March through December (no meetings in January and February.)  They are on the first Monday of the month (except for holidays) and generally start at 10 a.m.

Dues are $35 per year, guests are welcome to attend, there is a $5 Visitor Fee for non-members.
