EXPANDING YOUR DAYLILY GARDEN HORIZONS WITH NATIVES AND OTHER PERENNIALS
November 7 at 1 pm, Avon Senior Center
The Connecticut Daylily Society invites you to join us at our November 7 meeting to enjoy a program by Nancy DuBrule-Clemente on “other” plants to grow in our daylily gardens. Nancy grows and loves daylilies in her home garden and has many great ideas to make them more beautiful with other plants, especially those that support pollinators and other creatures! Nancy will share some of her favorite perennials, grasses, groundcovers, and small shrubs that we can easily grow in our daylily gardens to enhance multi-season interest and to nurture pollinators. Many of these will be natives!
Social hour with light refreshments (bring a sandwich?) will begin at noon and Nancy’s program will begin Saturday, November 7 at 1 at Sycamore Hills Recreation Center (aka Avon Senior Center) at 635 West Avon Road). There will be door prizes at the end of the meeting and Greg Haggett’s 2027 daylily photo calendar will be available for purchase. Contact us via Rebecca Nisley at 860-306-6315 or check out our webpage at ctdaylilyclub.com
