Summit County Chipping Program
You can protect your home from wildfire with help from the Summit County Community Chipping Program. Summit County government is helping residents and property owners create defensible space by providing free chipping and disposal for branches, logs and small trees. If you clear woody vegetation from around your home and stack it in a slash pile, we’ll chip it and haul it away at no cost.

Spring Membership Meeting
The Spring Membership Meeting was held Thursday, May 25 , after being postponed from the previous week due to inclement weather.
The highlight of the meeting was a presentation by local beekeeper, Larry Gililland.
We wish to thank Larry for sharing his time with the club and his excellent presentation!
Larry, gave us a formula for weed killer that will kill the dandelions (and grass around them) but will not hurt any bees, hummers,
birds, or insects. It kills other weeds also.
.
Weed killer formula: 1 gallon vinegar, 2 cups Epsom salts, 1/4 cup Dawn dish soap.
Thanks to all our members who spent time planting and now maintaining
the Breck Alpine Gardens!

We try to educate our members and the community about gardening in Summit County and provide a social setting for informational exchanges to share the beauty of gardening with others.
There's lots going on in our Club and room for many to be involved. It's surprising how much we accomplish in our short Summit summers.
