MGOI Annual Report 2012 - Master Gardeners of Ontario

MeetingsOur business meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of each month (January to May and September toOctober) at Quinte Gardens in Belleville. We had a large variety of speakers over the course of the year. Duringthe summer, a business meeting and potluck was held at a member’s garden and in November, a business meetingand Christmas potluck at a member’s home.Group UpdateWe had an MGiT transfer to us from the Etobicoke Master Gardener Group and two additional MGiT’s joined us. Amember who resigned in 1988/99 has shown an interested in rejoining the group. Three additional peopleindicated an interest in joining us but declined as they felt they couldn’t commit to the volunteer hours at thistime. Unfortunately, one of our long time members has resigned due to personal commitments. We continue tofocus on new members throughout the year and currently our membership spans a geographic area in excess of140 km. On a positive note, we are able to partner with garden clubs in Belleville, Stirling, Tamworth andAmeliasburg.All photos by Sue UddenbergGardens of Sue and Cathy Pogue60
