January - A Month of Renewal and Introspection.

There will be no regularly scheduled meeting this month.

It's time to renew your membership for 2023! Information is at the bottom of this page.


It’s time to start looking at the calendar and planning a road trip or maybe a class this coming year. The Philadelphia Flower Show (March 4-12) has returned indoors after 2 years outside. ‘The Garden Electric!’ is the 2023 theme. (Tix are $43.50) Philadelphia is a great place to visit, and you can get there easily by train.

The
Connecticut Flower & Garden Show (February 23-26) theme is ‘Gateway to Spring.’ It is the only remaining large-scale flower show in our area. Advance tickets ($17) are on sale now.

The
Capital Region Flower & Garden Expo takes place March 24-26 in Troy, NY. Advance tickets are $11/day. This is a perfect oppor-tunity to spend the night in Troy and then visit the shops downtown before departing. Their Saturday Farmers Market has high marks.
