Plant pressing, preserving
FARMINGTON — The Farmington Grange will hold an open meeting at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 21. W. Dennis Stires of Livermore will talk about his love of plants and will demonstrate how to press specimens and the process of mounting, labeling and storing the finished product. He will also give tips on how to collect and what not to collect. Participants are urged to bring plants and flowers they wish to press and preserve. Please collect only those plants in abundance; houseplants are a great source this time of year, as are spring blooming bulbs and shrubs.
Stires will bring some of his own collection for participants to enjoy. Some of his specimens are more than 50 years old.
Refreshments will be served after the meeting.
Farmington Grange is in West Farmington next to the Post Office. For additional information contact Wes Marble at 778-6968 or email wesmarble@hotmail.com.
