UPDATE:

Your health and well being are important to us.  We are cancelling the Tuesday, April 21st Batavia Plain Dirt Gardener’s general meeting and educational program.  We are sorry to miss seeing everyone, but know that social distancing is one of the ways we can help slow the spread of the virus. Thank you for your understanding.

We know club members were looking forward to seeing our speaker. We will try to reschedule the April program for a future meeting.

Please consider visiting the Batavia Wildflower Sanctuary, maintaining appropriate social distancing, and enjoy the emerging spring flowers.

If you have any questions or concerns about any of this information, feel free to call me.

Stay healthy out there!

Due to the Corona Virus, our planning meeting for Saturday at noon has been cancelled.  Instead, please email me with any suggestions that you have for the Wildflower Sanctuary this year.  Are there certain plants that you would like us to add?  Days of the week or month that are good for work days?  Things that you think we should work on?  We already have one vote for Tuesday morning work days.

 

Speaking of work days, our work day for Saturday at 9:30 is still ON.  We will be spread out enough that we should not have to worry about spreading germs.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate, but if it is raining or snowing enough to be uncomfortable, then we will cancel that too.

 

Thanks for your help and understanding!  Spring really is on the way!

Hi Nature Lovers,

Spring is on its way to the Batavia Riverwalk!

In order to get ready, we will be having a Wildflower Sanctuary work day on Saturday, March 14 at 9:30 am.  We will mostly be dead-heading, and will meet on the east (wooded) side.  If you have them, please bring clippers, loppers, work gloves, eye protection, and a bucket or tarp for hauling the clippings.

Then at 12:00 noon, we will have a beginning of the season planning meeting in the back room of Panera, 154 W. Wilson.  If you order at the counter, please let them know that we are meeting in the back room.  They now keep track of the total bill as "rent" on the room. 

You are invited to join us for the work day, the meeting, or better yet both!  

Current members of the Batavia Plain Dirt Gardeners AND all other interested volunteers are welcome!
