Garden Club News

The Library Garden Club of Miami Shores meets once a month on the first Saturday of the month at 10:30 a.m. at the Brockway Memorial Library.  We will also be meeting at other places in the area.   Our meetings will generally consist of a presentation based upon the monthly topic(s), a plant exchange (which will enable us to learn about different plants and what’s growing in each member’s garden), information on the “plant of the month”, and sharing of gardening tips and inspiration over coffee and refreshments.

The garden club will meet on Saturday, September 4, at 10:30 am. at the library.   For any questions, call Janet at 305-331-2906.
