Black Swamp Hosta and Daylily Society
Hoosier Daylily Society Inc.
Reporter Charlene Patz:
We have had another busy, fun-filled
summer and fall: In May we had a bus
trip to the Cincinnati Flower Show.
In June we tried holding our Members’
Hosta Garden Tour on a week night this
year. It seemed to be very successful.
Due to the fact that most daylilies are
better for viewing in the morning, we
held our Members’ Daylily Gardens Tour to the home of Lori
and Jerry Vandermeer/Dutchmill Gardens and to Margaret
and Bill Cook/The Farm on a Saturday morning in July. We
also held a non-accredited Daylily Show in July at Toledo
Botanical Garden’s Conference Center.
During our August Daylily Work Day at Toledo Botanical
Garden, the Munson and Olson collections were revamped.
Later that afternoon we enjoyed the annual daylily auction
in conjunction with our Daylily Host program.
In September we toured Valerie Trudeau’s Lavender Blue
Herb Farm in Waterville, and we had our Annual Members’
Plant Exchange.
In October our open forum program focused on what our
members do to get their gardens ready for winter, and a potluck
in November rounded out the year’s events.

HooDS President Jim Shields reports:
HooDS had its first annual auction in January and raised a
good nestegg for this year. We had speakers like Jamie
Gossard and Dan Bachman come to talk to us.
As in 1999, we had open gardens for two weekends during
bloom season, when members were invited to visit members’
gardens.
The Board is just now getting organized for the fall term,
with monthly meetings planned for September, 2000,
through May, 2001.
Bill Potter came down from Chicago and gave an informative
talk to HooDS in November, 1999.

Daylily Society of Southern Indiana
President John Habermel reports:
The Daylily Society of Southern Indiana had a very successful
plant sale this summer and raised $2000 for the club
treasury. It was a huge success considering that the members
had only 30 days to plan, organize, and collect donations
of plants.
Thanks to all the members who donated and worked to make
this a memorable event. The membership has reached 53,
which is amazing considering the club it only 11 months old.
