The Garden Club of Kent held a very entertaining and successful auction after the October dinner meeting. Items sold at silent auction and at live auction, by President Rick Strebler, included flowering house plants, useful gardening items, luscious home-made pickles, breads, cakes, fudge and other goodies, holiday decorations, beautiful hand-made jewelry, and interesting white elephant pieces. Proceeds from the auction help to fund charitable donations, including Scholarships to students who are pursuing study in the fields of Conservation or the environment. The November dinner meeting will be Monday, November 26, at the United Methodist Church, Pierson Meeting Room, 1435 East Main Street, Kent, Ohio. Dinner will be served at 6:30pm and the program will begin at 7:30pm. The public is welcome. The speaker will be Danae Wolfe, Horticultural Educator for Summit County. We will learn to recognize and identify non-native plants that have become harmful in natural areas, why they are not as beneficial as their native relatives, how we can remove them from our native habitats, how plants affect natural areas, native plants and animals and what, as gardeners, we can do to decrease the spread of these plants. Dinner reservations are required by the previous Friday. Call Harold at 330-673-1686 to reserve.
