Special Opportunity: We are nearing the last week of peony plant blooming. If you want to visit CharMarron PeonyNursery, you should go this week. If you want to forgo the 40 minute drive to the farm, shop online for a new favorite peony and Marcia will bring your plant to the May meeting. Especially view the magnificent Itoh varieties includingMagical Mystery Tour, Hillary, and Command Performance. Plant them now and enjoy a show next spring! Marcia and Charmaine are looking forward to sharing their “dog and peony” show with us.
