For the month of July 2025
Happy 4th of July to Everyone!
Here are the happenings for our club this month! Please be sure to mark your calendars for these exciting events!
July 15th (the third Tuesday this month only) – meeting at the church. Our guest speaker is Aaron Anderson, from the Xerces Society. We are really fortunate to have a chance to learn about the valuable invertebrates in our gardens and yards! Should be extremely enlightening! And you already know the coffee and treats provided by Katherene Kerner, Sandy Ahlquist, Janet Rasher, Mary Lou Epperson, and Patti Taylor will be amazing! Please join us!
July 29th (Tuesday) – field trip to The Garden Corner (21550 SW 108th in Tualatin)! Our visit starts at 10:30 am, but if you would like to carpool, please let Claudia or Roberta know, so we don’t accidentally leave without you! (Their contact info is on the roster below.) We will meet at Leona’s parking lot (which is the small parking lot across from Leona McDonald’s house) at 9:30. If you prefer to meet us there, that is fine too.This field trip is going to be so awesome! They have an area where we can have our lunch and visit, AND they have a coffee bar!! So pack up your bag lunch and order your coffee there!Also…. If you bring a container and buy some plants there, they have a sweet potting area and will pot plants up for you! It doesn’t get better than that!
Lastly, I am including our latest membership roster and email cluster(please check your email). You might want to print the roster off, if you are able, just so you have it. If you don’t have that capability, and want a hard copy of the roster, let me know. I am both embedding the roster, and attaching it, so hopefully one of those will work for you.
Enjoy this great day and we’ll look forward to seeing you soon!Wendy Young

More Date Changes!
Hi Garden Club Members,
Our visit to Harry’s Garden yesterday [June 10] was lovely, it was quite impressive! There was a lot of “eye candy” and it was truly amazing how he incorporated different areas of the yard into multiple gardens. There was a koi pond, a mini-waterfall-creek, a shaded area for plants and of course, lots of different roses and more. Harry provided an informative talk, as well.
Below, please glance at the remaining 2025 calendar year of events. There has been a change in July. We were not able to reserve the church on what would have been the 2nd Tuesday of July, so it was moved to July 15th, meeting at the church. Also, our Field Trip was moved to the last Tuesday of July, the 29th. So, mark your calendars accordingly.
Things of note:
- If you have NOT paid your dues for 2025, please mail your check or bring it to the next Coffee Chat/Meeting.
- Paradise Acres Garden Center, on Hwy. 212 in Damascus has annuals & veggie starts at 50% off, while supplies last.

WORKDAY JUNE 12 – Sara Hite Rose Garden
Screenshot Good Morning Dear Gardeners!
Our wonderful friend, Harry Landers, is looking for help tomorrow morning, from 10 am – noon at the Sara Hite Memorial Rose Garden. Many of us just visited Harry’s amazing home garden yesterday, when he generously shared so many wonderful stories with us about his experiences and how he developed his lovely garden oasis.
Harry now manages the Sara Hite Memorial Rose Garden and would sincerely appreciate any help we can offer in helping to deadhead the roses in this gorgeous garden. Please join us for whatever time you can spare… it goes so much faster, and is a lot more fun, when we are all working together!
The address is 5440 SE Kellogg Creek Dr. in Milwaukie. When you first drive into the parking lot, you can go straight, left, or right… turn into the left parking lot and you will see the Rose Garden on the left.
Screenshot Bring your gloves, a pruner, and a bucket. Perhaps a hat! You don’t need to know “how” to prune roses… Harry will explain!
Hope to see you there! Wendy
