[UrbanCropCircle] Meeting Formats, Seattle Tree Fruit Society, Edible Learning Garden

[Rhonda Brown]

Hello Fellow Gardeners:

Forgive my lateness on forwarding some information as promised at the last get together, can't seem to catch up!

There always seem to be a bit of a learning curve with new groups and we are no exception.  Last month we didn't really talk about procession planting, so my apologies to those who didn't get the info they were expecting to.

With the intention of having time for general questions and chitchat but still some education about a particular topic, here's the new time format for the group (thanks to Ingela), and we will stick to it!
6-6:30 ~ Room set-up
6:30-7 ~ Round of quick introductions, share gardening related info
7-8 ~    Formal presentation- advertised w/specific topic, time and 
presenter
8-8:30 ~ Social time-asking questions of the presenter & among each 
other
8:30-9 ~ Room clean up

Any feedback on this format is welcome and do let me know what kind of education you'd like.

The next get together will be Monday, April 6th.  Topic to be announced.
