News
Members are just back from another
successful weekend trip, this time visiting gardens in County Wexford
and County Carlow. 28 members stayed at the Carlton Millrace Hotel in
Bunclody and were bussed from one excellent garden to the next. A full
report - and photos - should be up on the website soon. Needless to say
lots of shopping for plants was done, we almost had to abandon
passengers at one point to get them all on the bus.
It's that time of year again - membership subs are
overdue. Membership is €25 for an individual and
€45 for
a couple and members are asked to pay the Treasurer as soon as possible
if they haven't already done so.
A DGS member has offered a range of sculptures for sale
to other DGS members. See details here.

Upcoming events
The September meeting, first of the new season, will
take place on Monday, 6th September at Iniskeel Hall, Portnoo and the
speaker will be Meike Siebel talking on mushrooms.
The venue for the October meeting has changed. The
meeting will now take place at Salthill, Mountcharles as usual. We are
hoping to have a speaker on the Community Gardens of County Donegal.
The 2010 programme of meetings is now upon us
and
a great series of speakers has been arranged. See what's coming up on
our Programme page.
We're also surveying members about their ideas for the
2010/2011 programme
of events. Please help by logging in to the Members' Area and completing the
survey. If you're a DGS member and can't remember the password email contact us, including your full name, and
we'll send it to you.
