The Country Gardeners Club of Eastern Lancaster County will meet on Thursday, June 16, at 1 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, 221 E. Main St., New Holland.
The program, "New and Underrated Annuals" will be presented by Kris Barry of Groff's Plant Farm. Barry grew up on her family's farm in Kirkwood, where she developed a love of flowers and plants. She received a degree in biology from Carleton College in Northfield, Minn.
After college, Barry worked in flower breeding at the Chicago Botanic Garden and Pan American Seed, also in Chicago. When her husband finished medical school, the couple moved to Florida, where Barry received a doctorate in environmental horticulture. After a year in Texas doing cotton research, she moved home to join the family business, Groff's Plant Farm. She now runs the business with her husband and teaches at Longwood Gardens.
A guest fee will be charged. For more information, contact Joanne Greaser at 717-572-1074.
