Spring is in the air and the Woodstock Horticultural Society will be holding their monthly meeting in April.
WOODSTOCK - There are a variety of things to learn as spring arrives, as the Woodstock Horticultural Society will host a meeting next month.
The meeting will feature guest speaker, Shelley Meyers, who is coming from Stratford to speak to the members.
President Dona Birtwistel says Meyers will give a presentation to the members, informing them on how to attract monarch butterflies to their gardens.
"They can learn how to take care and encourage the monarch's to come. She's talking about the benefits of milkweed, the peculiarities of the monarch's as far as how many can be in one area at one time. People will get a general knowledge because they're so important to our environment, about how to raise them and keep a lot of them out there because they've been under a lot of stress through the years."
In addition to Meyers' presentation, Birtwistel says their meetings will cover different topics for gardeners this year.
"We have monarch's this year, we also have a plant auction. We have garden myths and legends and weeds and wildflowers, noxious, poisonous and invasive. And Kerrie Gill from the Woodstock Museum will be doing a special talk on Victory Gardens: Then & Now, which we had one previous to this, but it was a shortened form so we're all looking forward to finishing off what we learned."
The upcoming meeting will be inside the Mutual Building at the Woodstock Fairgrounds. Refreshments and door prizes are available.
Annual membership for the Woodstock Horticultural Society is $10.00. If you are a non-member, the first meeting is free.
