Plant Sale and Raffle
There is always an assortment of plants brought to the meetings.
Some members bring plants to sell and others are donated for raffle.

Competition With Critique
Members bring in plants for show and tell. Many interesting specimens have been shared with the group. Each plant submitted for competition is critiqued by the judge and the winners presented ribbons.

Philadelphia Flower Show - PCSS participates in the Philadelphia Flower Show every year.
The Challenge Plant from 2006 is Gasteria glomerata. Members purchased their plants and received care instructions at the Ocotober meeting.

PCSS was represented at the 2006 PHS Members Day at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on September 16. A hearty “Thank You” to Rita and Rich Hojnowski for organizing our presence at this event and, along with Susan Wexler and Rick Hock, for sitting at our booth. Rita reports that they answered questions, distributed literature, sold a few copies of the PCSS booklet, and signed up four new members. Thanks, also, to the club members who donated give-away plants for the new members.

2006 Spring Trip
Despite rain much of the day, the spring trip was a success. Everyone had a great time. We took a guided tour of "Stonecrop Garden" in Cold Spring, NY, on Saturday, June 3, 2006. Please see the gallery for pictures from the day. A special thanks goes to Bridget Irons for putting the trip together!
