President’s Message
It is DIGgers’ favorite time of the year! The end of summer on September 22, the time to start your fall-winter garden, but most important it is time to start our Plant Sale propagation program! We will be meeting every Saturday from September 12 until November 21. Then we take a break until mid-January when we start back up every Saturday until mid-May, when we have our annual plant sale on May 8, 2027. I encourage all new members and existing members who may have not previously taken part in our propagation program to join us on Saturday mornings from 10:00 AM to noon. We meet at DIG’s Garden, our growing and sale grounds, located at 3900 Sellers Ave, next to the ECCC Historical Society Museum.
I know all our long time members who have participated in our past propagation programs are anxious to get back for the camaraderie, new friendships, learning from other Gardners, and the treats that members bring to share!
This is our major fund raiser of the year. It allows us to support many other local non-profit organizations, who provide services to far east county residents. We are also able to grant scholarships to two seniors in the Liberty and Antioch High School Districts.
I hope to see lots of members on Saturday mornings.
Bob Selders
