IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING OUR NHGC MEETINGS

We have been unable to hold our April and May meetings due to world health issues. There are no further meetings scheduled and we will promptly advise when meetings are resumed.  

Our guest speaker for March was to be Sandy Barbic from the Summit County Soil and Water Conservation District. She was going to discuss soil and water quality using native plants. Our recent meeting was February 19th and our speaker was Janice Loreta, an herbalist/healer who discussed  flu season tips and how to fend off illness naturally. Our April speaker was to be Lee Paulson, Summit County Master Gardener, discussing everything you wanted to know (and maybe not know!) about annuals – timing is good as we prepare to color our decks and gardens with lots of them. We hope to reschedule our speakers for future meetings. 


Hopefully, in September our speaker will be all about birds….and October will be all about the Summit County Metro Parks – so lots to look forward to.
When our next meeting is announced we hope to see you at the Macedonia City Center, lower level. Community Room, City Hall.

Perennial Flowers

Perrenials from June on...............

  • Look for healthy plants at purchase
  • Signs of setbacks include: wilted foliage from lack of water
  • Yellow or limp foliage from insufficient light or fertilizer
  • Holes or a stippling of the leaves from insects
  • Blotches or gray coating on the leaves or stems from possible fungal disease;
  • Thin, lanky stems from lack of light
  • Roots emerging from pot drainage holes
  • Weeds in the container from lack of attention by the seller.

Maximize your first-year enjoyment by picking perennials that have a lot of buds just about to open as opposed to plants already in full bloom.

  • Perennials aren’t just for in the ground either
  • Coralbells, hosta, brunnera, Japanese forest grass, and others with colorful foliage are excellent additions to flower pots
  • Mix them with color-coordinated annuals
  • Create entire pots using long-blooming and/or colorful-leafed perennials.

 
NHGC Awards and Donations
Nordonia Hills Garden Club is organised and operated exclusively for charitable purposes. 

We annually award a scholarship to a Nordonia Hills high school senior.  As well as, having an annual beautification award to a local business to recognise their landscaping. This year we will have involvement with the Blue Star Memorial installation for the city of Nordonia Hills.  

At our monthly meetings, members donate to The Emergency Assistance Center. It is a food pantry in Northfield, Ohio which serves 12 surrounding communities. They provide food, clothing, personal hygiene items, and seasonal support to our Northeast Ohio neighbors in need on a monthly basis. They are a network partner of the Akron Canton Regional Food Bank. 

Recently, our club received a first place award from the Garden Club of Ohio for our website. The website award application will now be automatically submitted to the National Garden Club!
