It's time for the Fall Creek Garden<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>Collective to begin their monthly meetings. We meet at 7pm the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>second Thursday of the month at the Cooperative Extension on Willow<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>Ave. Meetings last about 1.5 hrs. Our coming meetings are:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>Feb.11, March 11, April 8, May 13.<br> <br>For our February meeting the main topic will be the 2010 Garden Tour.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>This is THE big event that the club puts on and it has become a major<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>Ithaca event. If you are interested in knowing how this all comes<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>together, come to the meetings to find out.<br> <br>We are starting to look for gardens! If your neighbor has a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>particularly nice garden, ask them if they would like to be in the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>tour. Or if you know of any special gardens in the Fall Creek area<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>you think should be in the tour, either knock on their door or give<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>us the address and we will contact them. Or you can volunteer your<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>garden. We will do repeat gardens if a few years have passed.<br> <br>This is a great way to meet other gardeners in the neighborhood, so<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>please come and get to know us.<br> <br>We also have our own google-group so I won't be sending additional<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>notices to the Neighborhood group. If you would like to join our<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>google-group, let me know.<br> <br>Carol<br>--<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>Carol Bayles, Chairperson<br>Fall Creek Garden Collective<br>209 Utica St<br>Ithaca, NY 14850<br>607-275-9090--H<br>607-254-4860--W<br><a href="mailto:cjb4@cornell.edu">cjb4@cornell.edu</a></ul></span></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
