story & photos by Gail K.
With Covid still a concern, our first meeting/speaker for 2022was held in March.
It was nice seeing a friendly face: Josh from 4 Star came with his top picks of Proven Winner plants for 2022.
Everyone was intent on hearing all the latest, as Josh spoke about the testing and trials which the Proven Winner brand goes thru before it reaches the market.
As is his norm-Josh brought many plants for us to see.
With Covid, many have taken up “gardening” so he also brought house plants from Proven Winners.
Knowing several of our members love using Coleus–Josh shared a photo of one he wasn’t able to bring a sample of. Very Striking I must say.
He also shared a sample of a petunia-the closest to a true-blue color they have ever achieved
The meeting ended with Josh graciously allowing anyone to choose from the selections below; a plant to take home. THANK YOU JOSH! As always, a very informative discussion/g.
