We are searching for a meeting space that will be convenient for our members, and are trying out various meeting rooms in public libraries. Our next meeting will be in the meeting room at the Green Hills Branch of the Metro Public Library system, located at 3701 Benham Ave. in Nashville, TN.

Our meeting will begin at 10:30 AM with a meet-and-greet, sign up for door prizes, very short business meeting, and social time. At 11:00 AM our speaker will begin. The speaker will be your MTHS president, Susan Ramsay.

Spring Ephemerals for the Shade Garden: Here Today and Gone Tomorrow

Learn about plants that emerge early in the spring and provide a variety of beautiful colors, textures, and blooms for pollinators, and then become dormant by mid-summer! Their ephemeral presence requires special planning in your garden design so that you don't end up with blank spots. Many of the plants featured in this talk are woodland, native plants. Learn fascinating facts about Virginia bluebells, trillium, starflower, star of Bethlehem, bloodroot, snowdrops, mayapple, and spring beauty. 

There is nothing quite as joyful to plant lovers as seeing the emergence of cheerful blooms in the spring after a cold, dreary winter. Discover new spring ephemerals and revisit some familiar ones that you can add to your home landscape. 

Our meetings are open to all, no membership is required.
