The Hillsboro Garden Club held its April meeting at Floral Hall on April 25.

The evening started with refreshments provided by Nancy Baldwin and Connie Hilliard.

The spring auction began with auctioneer Larry Moore and assistants Lynn Luman and Judith Stivender. I successfully bid on a lavender Bee Balm plant.

A short business meeting was called to order by President Stivender. The minutes of the March meeting were accepted as previously distributed.

Roll call was not taken; however, 15 members and three guests were present.

Treasurer Ruth Anna Duff gave her report. A motion to reimburse Teresa Cudkowicz her registration fee to the Spring Region 16 meeting was passed. This is in recognition of Cudkowicz being awarded the Region 16 Gardener of the year.

Stivender gave an update on changes within the Ohio Association of Garden Clubs.

The meeting was adjourned, and everyone carried their new plants home, wondering where will they place them. Our next meeting will be May 23 at the Forest Museum in Bainbridge.
