July Meeting

1. We had a great time at our meeting at Still Meadow Farms. We had a lite dinner which was wonderful and experieced some of her herbs in it.
   We then toured her gardens which were a lot of wonderful plants in them. Some of the gardens were herbs which we all tasted and smelled.
   She had a cute petting zoo for children. Peacocks which were very active and rather noisy but beautiful.
   
   We then had our meeting and several of us stayed to hear more stories on the farm and planting of her gardens and the collection of her barn items which were unique.
   Thank you Still Meadow Farms for hosting our meeting.

Guest night at Orrville Club

1. Creston Garden Club was represented by two of its members to the Orrville Garden Club guest night.
   The program was about getting your garden and beds ready for fall.
   Great program by Paradise Lawn Service in Smithville
   Did you know that if you pull up thistle and break the stem that it will come up twice from the broken piece. They suggested that you use a weed killer with a rubber glove and a jersey glove over top of it with it soaked in week killer then just swipe up the thistle in you flower garden. Then pull the thistle up when it is brown and dead.
