\"\"<\/a>L&A HortSoc (code for Lennox and Addington Horticultural Society) met last night (Wednesday January 18th, 2012) at a new location, the Napanee FireHall Training Room.
\nWe’ve talked for some time about moving out of the County building meeting rooms, what with their small size, a nasty steep ramp down that made for dangerous use of walkers and other aids.
\nLots of parking out back, a good, wider room, more suitable to meeting presentations than a longer narrow room, and lots of chairs. We set up a head table for the President to work from and another table for the membership and secretary to work from. On the side was a smaller snack table and at the back was a table for various handouts and information.<\/p>\n

Tonights meeting consisted of 20-25 minutes of announcements about upcoming events, a request to members to grow annuals for the plant sale in May, not yet firmly scheduled but most likely on the Saturday of the May Long Weekend, coinciding with the opening of the Farmers Market in Napanee.
\nAfter that we watch an 30-40 minute episode of a gardening program and then broke for questions and snacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
