Planting seeds of promise

It's been a long winter and now it's finally time to enjoy the promise of warmer weather and pack away that shovel and winter coat. For many folks, starting seeds indoors is an annual ritual that signals spring has arrived.

The Westlake Garden Club is waking up from its winter slumber and starting the year with a special program on starting seeds indoors. The speaker for the event is a certified master gardener and even experienced gardeners may learn a new trick or two. The Wednesday, March 15, event starts with a club meeting at 10:30 a.m. at the Westlake Community Center at 28975 Hilliard Road. It's in the same development as the Westlake Recreation Center. The talk will begin at 11 a.m.

While there, check out what's growing in the new Westlake Garden Club's Remembrance Garden, which was just planted in the fall. It's located on the north side of the building. Before the meeting visit the cafe for free coffee or free tea. You may decide to join others to have a bite to eat after the meeting too. The meeting room is next to the cafe.

If you aren't a member of the club, guests are welcome. Come check out the club before you decide to join. No advance registration is required.
