June 9, 2012 By Carol Michel 2 Comments

Members of the Green Bandana Garden Club recently met and discussed renaming the club to better represent the breadth and depth of interests of the esteemed members. There was much discussion and while the membership came close to agreeing on a new name, they fell short of actually deciding on one.  Therefore, they decided to ask the public gardening community to help determine the name. We invite you to open the survey below and choose the name of your choice for the club that may soon … [Read more...] about Help choose a new name for the Green Bandana Garden Club

The Garden, You, and I and The Green Bandana Garden Club

August 22, 2011 By Carol Michel 15 Comments

"This book is for those who in treading the garden path have no thought of material gain; rather must they give, -- from the pocket as they may, -- from the brain much, -- and from the heart all, -- if they would drink in full measure this pure joy of living."

She had already written many other nature-related books using her real name before she wrote … [Read more...] about The Garden, You, and I and The Green Bandana Garden Club

July 20, 2011 By Carol Michel 9 Comments

Dear Dr. Hortfreud, I need your help! I found a yellowed newspaper clipping stuck in the pages of an old gardening book I bought last week, and it has sent me straight down a rabbit hole where the gardening advice is always curious and the people are interesting. I am blaming Hortense for giving me a little push, or perhaps it was a giant shove down this particular rabbit hole, the likes of which I do not really have time for. She was the one who wrote and suggested that I look in old … [Read more...] about Dear Dr. Hortfreud, I found an old newspaper clipping..
