Howell Garden Club

Summit Gardens - up close and personal. Can you identify the flowers? Well, I can get most of them! Enjoy those blooms with more to come! 😃

Our June meeting was well attended. Thanks to Marsha and Mary Mc our treats were special! Macey of Huron-Clinton Metro Parks gave a very well prepared presentation on Rain Gardens. I have the perfect spot for one. Now if I can just find the energy to put it together. Maybe HGC needs a project!!! 😃😁

HGC's June meeting is tomorrow, June 24, at the Marion Township Hall on West C**n Lake Road at 6:30pm. Our program will be on Rain Gardens presented by Macey Kunkle of Huron-Clinton Metro Parks, Brighton, Michigan. We will learn how rain gardens work to solve local water problems.
Please come and join us for this most interesting topic!

While Gail H and Patty were watering our Blue Star Memorial Garden they spotted this little striped caterpillar. Ok, this is a test. What will this caterpillar morph into and name the host plant? 🤩

Summit Gardens is almost ready to open to the public for 2026 so HGC is tidying up the seven floral circle beds we maintain for all to enjoy. Some beds are more mature than others but all will be bright and colorful. Please enjoy the 'before' photos with 'after' yet to come. Happy Summer!

Never give up on your perennial garden. It will do its best to please. Here is early spring 'before' and late spring 'after' at one of our floral circle beds at Summit Gardens cared for by Mary Lou and Rosie. Only a few marigolds added to keep the yellow theme going all summer. Nice job, Girls!!

Our newest member, Janice, has some healthy looking combo pots. The colors are so bright and wonderful! Happy summer 2026! Welcome to HGC!!

HGC's busy board had their June meeting at Karen J's home. All officers present. Thank you for your hospitality and treats, Karen. Summit Gardens, HGC monthly programs, Christmas Tea, member garden walk and more. Always much to discuss. 🤩
Join a garden club! You will love it!! 😍

HGC is getting ready for another exciting gardening year planting and maintaining the circle floral beds found at Summit Gardens on Michigan Avenue, downtown Howell. We had to take a year off because of the major construction project by the Howell Depot and renovation of Summit Gardens. After our meeting with Mike Spitler, Deputy Director DPW Services and Ray Kraft, DPW Operations Manager, we are ready for Summit Gardens 2026!! 🤩
