DECEMBER NEWSLETTER
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
December seems a good time to take a moment and reflect on the past year. This year we began working our way back to ìnormalcyî, although it seems to most of us that itís still a long way off. We held both our spring and fall plant sales (although our spring sale was in May because of the February freeze), we held two outdoor meetings and were able to hold one indoor meeting. Although there isnít a regularly scheduled meeting in December, if youíre a chapter member, we hope youíll join us in our holiday party.
Our hope and plan is that we can go back to our normally scheduled programs and meetings in 2022. Although there is a new coronavirus variant, it looks like weíll have good answers before the end of December and know where we stand on working around this one. So, please plan on meeting the fourth Monday of January!
We wish everyone a very happy, family-filled holiday season.

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN DECEMBER?
Plants in our fields and pastures are either dormant or almost dormant, so there very few active, blooming plants. Some may still have blooms on them in flowerbeds and other tended areas, but in nature itís time to rest and grow strong over the winter. This doesnít mean there isnít anything of interest. Now is the time for seeds and berries which provide not only an interesting contrast to the landscape but valuable food sources for many birds and animals.
