Welcome to Gardening Kingston!

Presidents’ Winter message

Welcome to 2020. Are we anticipating something new and exciting this year? Is this the year for renewed energy, clearing out the cobwebs and redefining our endeavours? It all depends on what our new focus will be. Setting our sights on what the upcoming year might hold creates hope and direction, striving towards something better, an improved state of mind, taking a risk, making a new connection.

As this year continues, we anticipate the spring season that lies ahead knowing that our society events are only as successful as the planning that lies behind them. The board has determined some of the goals they would like to implement this year based on your feedback, our Flower Show committee is busy creating a unique schedule for this season starting with mini design workshops at our March meeting, and discussions are underway to see which improvements are needed to host another successful Plant Sale scheduled for May 30. Stay tuned. Check out the postings in the months to come.

Take time to ponder and think. Become active and make a difference. The Welcome sign is hanging on our door. See you soon.

Jean Barna, President
