Catasauqua Garden Club will meet 1 p.m. May 7 at the Deily Coal Yard, Union and Canal streets.

Three experienced and creative garden club members — Deb Mellish, Carol Pierce and Deb Remington — will lead all in a hands-on build-a-container-garden program. Bring a reasonable-sized container but no refrigerator crates please.

The meeting will also include the usual artistic and horticultural exhibits for judging.

Plans for the annual plant sale, scheduled for May 17, will be finalized.

Garden-friendly visitors are always welcome. If you are a non-member and plan on coming, call Mellish at 610-231-0603, as there will be material fees.
