2022-01-27 Trip to Leu Gardens
On Thursday, January 27 the club had 15 people travel to Leu Gardens for a look at the vegetable and pollinator gardens. Director Robert Bowden gave us a two hour tour of their gardens and we learned about veggie gardening in Central Florida. He discussed soil preparation and amendments, fertilization, watering, timing and varieties to use. Then he talked about the various butterflies they try to attract and the plants they use to feed both the adult and larval stages of a butterflies life. Afterwards some of us went to lunch at a nearby restaurant
