The Dade City Garden Club will present Solving the Mysteries of Florida Vegetable Gardening at our January general membership meeting on Monday, January 13, 2025. Presenting will be our own Pam LaPan, Treasurer of the Dade City Garden Club--but also, vegetable gardener extraordinaire! 

 

Pam grew up watching and helping her grandfather and father, who first started growing vegetables out of necessity, but eventually continued for enjoyment of a hobby while also feeding the family. Gardening with her family for 55 years, she is a Florida native and all her experience has been in this area. Pam has presented to garden club members in the past, helping them discover the fun and satisfaction of vegetable gardening in Florida. Now she is coming before the whole club to share her experience. Whether you decide to plant a simple pot of lettuce or a large plot of several varieties, the secrets she has to share will be invaluable.

 

 

The morning program will begin with socializing and refreshments at 9 am with the meeting beginning promptly at 9:30 am. The evening session will start with socializing and refreshments at 6 pm with the meeting following at 6:30 pm. Also, as part of the program will be a quick informative lesson by Laraine Stovall, Horticulture Chair, who will be instructing members on how to prepare their cut specimens for entry into the spring Flower Show. And the return of a popular feature, there will be an assortment of raffles, the proceeds going towards our Camp Wekiva Scholarship. So, don't forget your dollar bills.
