Preview of all 2012 Trellis meetings topics & dates

[Larry Fisher]

Come, meet, discuss!

Here is a preview of the 2012 Trellis meeting topics (any member can suggest others). The monthly topic is to help focus the group and get discussions started. The aim is to keep the topic seasonal for what is happening or about to happen garden-wise. Any meeting (3^rd Saturday of the month) can include discussions about any vegetable gardening issues. Join us for our 3^rd year of Trellis: a support group for vegetable gardeners.
