Monroe County Master Gardener Association

Naida asked that I post this information to advise all of the following event potential

“After hearing rumors that The World Cup of Gardening on Belle Isle would
not be taking place in June of this year, I emailed Belle Isle
Conservancy and learned that the decision had been made to postpone the
event until 2016. No further information was provided.
I believe Belle Isle is still a worthwhile tour for our master gardener
group this June and we could pair it up with Detroit’s Eastern Market
and/or Pewabic Pottery. The other tour possibility that was being
considered was Schnormeier Gardens in Gambeir, Ohio. I would invite you
to google all mentioned options and I’m hoping at our February meeting
we can vote on which tour or tour combination you would be most
interested in. Both Eastern Market and Pewabic Pottery are only about 2
miles from Belle Isle (some say walking distance) but with all the other
walking my choice would be to drive. We will plan on a car pool with
more information at a later date.
Another thing I learned as I was trying to get information on the World
Cup of Gardening event is that the MSU Master Gardener College, which
was always scheduled for two days in late June, has been canceled this year.”

Thanks,
Naida
