In-Person October 8, 2022 - First Universalist Society Meeting House, in Franklin. Just 8 minutes from Norfolk
Note that this meeting is on the Second Saturday of October.
This month's program : Light it Up!
With the changing of the seasons, and moving indoors, our plants’ needs change in the winter. The October meeting is designed to inform and educate on what C&S need to thrive at this time.
Many folks turn to indoor lighting. We’ve gathered some members with extensive indoor grow set-ups to share how they configured their set-ups. Paul Carlberg, Tom Chen and Tim Greene will also answer questions you may have on how to get started with grow lights.
Following the lighting discussion, Art Scarpa will be providing a brief introduction to Winter Growing Succulents –because yes, some plants save their best for winter.
Time:1:00p-4:00p
Location: First Universalist Society Meeting House in Franklin , MA
November 19th: Here Comes the Judge! In-person meeting.
Actually, here come 4 judges! CSSM members Paul Carlberg, Margo Hammer, Abby Rorer, and Art Scarpa will be sharing how they go about judging a plant, with tips and suggestions on how to help your plants look their best.
Afterward, we’ll be treated to some live, real-time judging. Bring your best plant, bring your worst plant, and see what the judges have to say! (Plants will be presented to the judges anonymously, as would happen in a show setting).
Time: 1p-4p
Location: First Universalist Society Meeting House in Franklin , MA
December 10th: Celebrate! (note: this is the 2nd Saturday in December)
Join all your CSSM friends for a fun (and food) filled afternoon.
No formal meeting, we’ll be having a potluck lunch with lots of laughter, an optional gift swap, and gift plants for all registered attendees.
Details on sign-ups, food, and the gift swap will be shared as the date approaches.
Time: 1p-4p
Location: First Universalist Society Meeting House in Franklin , MA
January and February 2023 will be Zoom meetings that you can join from the comfort of your couch. We’ll then resume our regular meetings in March. Our hope is that in the spring we can return to the Norfolk Library, which has been our home for so many years.
Check back often to see what we have lined up for 2023 programs.
