9/20/25 Meeting

Hello Daylily Lovers and Garden Friends…

We hope you have survived the heat and drought and are enjoying the current cooler temperatures! Daylily folks have reported an incredible summer for blooms due to the rainy spring. But now we are spending most of our garden energies watering to keep our gardens alive.

Our climate and thus our weather have been changing at an unprecedented rate. On a local level, what does this mean for gardeners and the green spaces we have created and maintain? Different patterns may mean new plant choices and different pests and problems. Even though we don’t know exactly what the future holds, what steps we can take to protectively manage our gardens for an uncertain future??

On Saturday, September 20, 2025, the CONNECTICUT DAYLILY SOCIETY will present Sarah Bailey, Connecticut Certified Horticulturalist and UConn Advanced Master Gardener, to answer some of our questions!  Sarah is an instructor for the Connecticut Certified Horticulturalist program and the UConn Master Gardener program. A graduate of the University of Vermont and the UMass Green School, she has worked in the horticultural industry for the last three decades. She recently retired from both the state coordinator and the Hartford County coordinator positions for the UConn Extension Master Gardener program and serves on the Board of Directors of the CT Horticultural Society as well as the education committees of both the CT Horticultural Society and the CT Nursery and Landscape Association. Sarah gardens in north central Connecticut under the watchful eye of her current border collie, who digs up mole tunnels for amusement.

Social hour begins at 12:30, and the meeting at 1 pm. Light refreshments will be provided and/or bring your own lunch.

Greg Haggett will have his 2026 Daylily Calendar available at the meeting.
