OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
NOON: "How to Divide Peonies" Demonstration
12:30 p.m. Membership meeting
1:00 p.m.  Peony Root Auction

Autumn is the best time to dig, divide and plant peonies.  We've scheduled our society fundraiser at the best time to acquire new peony color for your 2011 garden.  Members donate peony roots from their own gardens and we also acquire peony roots from the best hybridizers and professional growers in the region.  We'll have a wide variety of color and flower form and a number of very hard-to-find, collectible peonies. If you were able to visit our June peony show, bring your list of favorites, you may find them here.
 
Come early and see a demonstration on how to divide peonies.  Members will share their advice for digging and cleaning roots prior to dividing them. Then they'll show just how to make the cuts that will make it possible to expand your peony beds or share plants with family and friends.  If you have questions about peony culture, don't miss this opportunity to learn from the some of Minnesota's most experienced peony growers.
