| | The Tuesday, October 30th meeting of the Bowie-Crofton Garden Club at 7pm at Kenhill Center will feature a talk by Howard Waterworth, PhD on Plant Diseases.
We can do everything right and a plant disease can destroy all our efforts. Hear about this wide ranging topic from a professionally trained plant pathologist and former Beltsville, USDA researcher with 35 years of experience working with diseases, and in particular viruses. Come with questions and concerns and Dr Waterworth will help us understand this complex science; combing his 15 years of work as a Master Gardener with his training and research experience.
The talk as always is free and open to the general public. Come grow with us.

7:30 - 8:00 Club Business Meeting
|  | 8:00 - 9:00 BCGC Q&A on Garden-related member issues.
September is a time when gardens are slowing down in preparation for their Winter rest. This is a great time for Gardeners to review the growing season's "Lessons Learned" and to apply these lessons to Spring. The Bowie - Crofton Garden Club invites you to share any successes or failures with your fellow club members.
Do you have a gardening question that another club member may be able to answer?
Or a success story that could inspire other gardeners?
Please submit your questions or request to present to the "president@bcgardenclub.org" for this informative meeting. |
