The January Meeting of the JEH Chapter was held on Sunday, January 14 at the Garden Council Building. Valerie Costa and Micki Dougherty presented the program on Hibiscus Important Facts which covered how to report your new 4 inch pot babies; the types of soil for the pot, good fungicides, winterizing, preparing blooms for a show, how to open a bloom, and taking care of bus (gall midge, thrips). Micki Dougherty was acknowledged and thanked for organizing the Garden Council Breakfast on Friday, January 12th.
