Horticulturist Speaks to Mayan Garden Club.
Mayan Garden Club had a great January meeting at Soliman Bay. After having a gourmet meal, horticulturist Paul Auteri spoke to the large group of men and women on the plants of the Yucatan, their origins, and growth requirements. Especially interesting were the origins of the Coconut Palms and other plants that we see everyday. To join the Mayan Garden Club, email [email protected].
THIS IS OUR THIRD YEAR!!!
The Mayan Garden and “Gourmet” Club had exciting plans for the next few months. The Gourmet has been added by some because of the great food we have and fun besides learning about gardens. Everyone is welcome, but RSVP is required. Men and families are always welcome. You are welcome if you are a permanent resident or a visitor. WE ARE NOT A GROUP OF SHERRY- DRINKING LADIES SITTING AROUND with our feet in a bucket of ice!! We are a group of men and women interested in the area and always interested in what is new.
From an idea conceived by Dan and Marguerite only three years ago, we have grown from eight people in attendance to over thirty. We are the largest and biggest independent club in the area and the only Garden Club. We have sister clubs in the United States and a wonderful web site at Mayangarden.club where you can explore what we are about. We take trips and every month meet in the home of a member , not in a bar. Although Tequila is always present at our meetings and great food.
Members contribute articles to AkumalNow on garden tips and Out Our Backdoor. Individuals in the area work hard to make us a success. Thank you, Kai, for the web site work always.
