Saturday, July 11th at 10am – Ferns, Ferns, Everywhere!! with Colleen O’Neill
Are you looking for an accent plant for the shade? Need a groundcover for a dry area? Or just need to add some pizzazz to your pots? Join Colleen, local plant propagator, in a discussion about ferns, “the Queen of Green.” Learn about hardy, perennial ferns for shade, sun, moist or dry gardens. Get some fresh ideas about combining ferns in pots or discover a few native ferns to spice up your shade.

POSTPONED UNTIL FALL, Daylilies with Pam Hoffman
Mystic Meadows Daylily Farm is a State Inspected Daylily Nursery located in South Wales, NY – 10 minutes from East Aurora. Pam Hoffman (owner) grows, sells, and hybridizes daylilies that thrive in a Northern climate. Pam is an active member and past officer, of BADS (Buffalo Area Daylily Society). She currently has just over 400 named cultivars and a hundred seedlings, or so that she is evaluating. Her favorite daylily form is the Unusual Form (UF);daylilies that twist and curl, and have movement. Pam has collected quite a few Spiders and UF’s, and is always looking for new ones. The gardens are mostly open by appointment, since Pam has a full time career at a local bank. Please visit her website at: www.mysticmeadowsdaylily.com
