September 17, 2014 begins the 2014/2015 Garden Club year at 10 a.m., in the Madrona Room of Orcas Center. Many exciting speakers await you this year. First up is Elisabeth Marshall with “Spectacular Peonies.” Everyone loves peonies. Not only are they beautiful but, as it says on some plants at Driftwood Nursery, the deer “tend not to eat them.”

Elisabeth gardens on Lummi Island and raises 80 varieties of peonies and fruits and vegetables. She will have peonies for sale at the meeting. New members are welcome and may join the Garden Club at any meeting — $20 per year, $25 for couples. For further information see orcasislandgardenclub.org
