Dunnville Horticultural Society update

DUNNVILLE—The dog days of summer are finally here, and I for one couldn’t be happier! After such a cool and rainy spring, the sunshine and warm days are making for a bumper crop of weeds this year. Take a few minutes every few days to do some weeding, and it keeps this chore from feeling too overwhelming.

While the Dunnville Horticultural Society (DHS) takes a break from meetings over the summer, we are still actively working in the town beds. Our June Program Night was a lesson in backyard birding courtesy of Loretta Shields of the Smithville Garden Club. A lovely gourd birdhouse created by Angela Latham was won by Frank Phillips. And the Potting Shed donated a beautiful lavender planter, won by Darlene Buscis.
