Garden Club to have program on heat-loving plants

Phoebe Lake, owner of a specialty plant nursery called New Leaf Nursery in Brenham, will present the program “Some Like It Hot” to members of Columbus Garden Club on Wednesday March 13. The nursery specializes in fine herbs, perennials and native plants that are sold in farmer’s markets. Janet Johnson, President of the garden club, says “the program will be about heat-loving plants for Central Texas and will be a power point presentation that will include handouts and allow time for attendees to ask questions.”

If you are interested in learning about plants that are best suited for the hot temperatures in Texas come to The Lighthouse building at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 201 Veterans Dr. in Columbus, Wednesday March 13. The meeting begins with coffee and refreshments at 9:30 a.m. The program will begin at 10.
