Our barrier islands are rapidly growing and we enjoy meeting new neighbors and sharing local gardening experiences.\u00a0 As members, we have increased our knowledge of propagation from both seeds and cuttings to provide plants for the sale.\u00a0 The sale is our main fund raising source to support community projects.
