Marlyn Myers, President of the Orcas Island Garden Club, is ecstatic over this year’s presenters.

The line-up includes authors, professors, horticulturists, researchers, botanists, filmmakers, and owners of highly successful nurseries and gardens. From Orcas, Cindy Morgan, owner of the Nest, will teach holiday decorating and Michael Budnick, owner of Northwest Concepts, will explore use of native plants. Other presenters will be coming from San Juan, Port Townsend, Marysville, and the Seattle area. Topics range from GMO seeds, to hardy fuchsias, landscape design, and how to cope with various pest and plant issues. Probably the most well-known speaker, radio and TV personality, Ciscoe Morris, will be sharing his expertise in April. “Everyone loves Ciscoe and he can speak on anything related to gardening,” Myers said.

The Garden Club meets the third Wednesday of the month in the Orcas Center. The public is invited, but to enjoy the full benefits, they encourage membership. Contact Marlyn Myers for more information at 376-6110.
