It may be August, but there’s still plenty of summer left and the Grand Marais Garden Club is continuing to meet to learn about various garden topics and tour area gardens. Our August meeting will feature Garden Club member Linda Preus, who will share information with us about Collecting Lilies and Daylilies. After the meeting, we will have a tour of Linda’s garden, which is bursting with blooms for us to enjoy!
