We will leave Trinity Church at 5:45 pm, carpooling to downtown Peterborough.
Tour of Millennium Park to begin at 7:00 pm.
Directions if you are meeting us there:
Millennium Park is located at Water and King Streets. There is a fee for parking at that location. I suggest you take Charlotte Street past Water Street and park in the downtown mall shopping parkade on the left. Parking is free after 6 pm. Walk out onto the trail and go right. Watch for the fountain. We will meet there.
Snacks will be available but we ask that you bring your own water bottle.

Hey – it’s the long weekend – buy lots of plants, take them home and plant them!! The location is at the Omemee Curling Club on James Street, as usual. Lots of parking, lots of room and level entry makes this a super location for our sale.
Plants are donated by our members – this means that there are always lots of special, hard to find plants.
We hope to have our usual great selection of annuals, vegetables, bulbs and tubers, grasses, etc. Again this year we are planning to put our really special plants (rare, unusual, new varieties etc.) on a separate table, and one of our knowledgeable members will be there to answer questions and to guide you. Bring a couple of extra loonies – we will be raffling off a large planter again this year. Last year’s lucky winner was Chantal Barnes.
Feel free to contact me if you’d like more information. Oh, by the way, we are always looking for donations of plants – give us a call.
See you bright and early on Saturday, May 16!
Barb Morrison, plant sale chair. Lakehouse54@bell.net
