As many of you know, we have scheduled a Fall Plant Sale in conjunction with the Tinker Nature Park Fall Festival in September. We plan to sell mums, flowering kale, asters and other perennials. Another idea that was presented was to sell hypertufa planters, which can be made inexpensively and sold for a nice profit. Many of you have participated in hypertufa workshops in the past and we'd like to do another one with the idea of making additional planters to sell.

So, on Thursday, June 7th at 6PM, we will meet at Carol's barn.  Carol's husband has a cement mixer, so we won't have to go through that process individually - yeah! 

The club will supply all the materials for the mix. You would need to bring:

• Molds - 8" or larger bowls without lips, cardboard boxes, pots, Styrofoam, etc. (We will have some molds, but please try to find as many things as possible so that we can make many planters.)
• Rubber gloves (Rubbermaid type)
• Face mask
• Water spray bottle

This can be a messy project, so dress accordingly - another good use for gardening clothes!

Please remember that the only way we can present interesting speakers such as Betty Green (pressed flowers) and Laurie Burtner (perennials), etc. is by making money at our fund raising events. Hypertufa planters sell very well and since they are inexpensive and fun to make, it's a win-win deal!
