‘Plant jewels’ lone Garden Club topic
“ Plant Jewels of the High
Country" a story of the semper-
vivum and sedums, was the sub
ject of discussion led by Helen
Martin at the lone Garden Club
meeting on Jan. 8. The meeting
was held at the home of Mrs.
Martin with Loree Hubbard
assisting.
Mrs. Martin explained that
these plants are from the “ old
world” and Africa and not real
ly native to America. There are
some 500 species growing from
one to six inches in height. They
are especially suitable for the
semi-arid climate of northeastern
Oregon and Washington. They
are shallow rooted and will grow
most anywhere even among
rocks. They need good drainage
and are relatively pest free. Mrs.
Martin showed slides taken by
her father, Ralph Horton, at the
Oakhill Gardens near Dallas to il
lustrate the many varieties of
plants available. Many of these
are to be found at the club’s
spring plant sale.
During the business meeting
Leila Palmer, garden therapy
chairman, announced that the
club’s foster friend for the
Pioneer Nursing Home is Audrey
Edmunson. Pat Pettyjohn, junior

The Rhea Creek Study Group
met at the home of Verna Brinda
on Monday, Jan. 5. The lesson
presented by Joyce Buchanan was
on food of the nineties.
The emphasis was on quick and
easy foods for the busy
housewife, foods that can be
prepared in about 30 minutes.
There are many packaged foods
and sauces that can be kept in the
cupboard and used as a main
dish. Frozen foods are another
shortcut and can be prepared in
a microwave. Herbs and spices
may be used to alter these many
dishes. The trend is less sugar and
fat and more vegetable dishes
such as stir fry, which can be
prepared in the microwave.
After dinner a short business
meeting was held with chairman
Judy Stevens presiding. The
B M C C sp eech
c la ss to b egin
group discussed a one-day trip
throughout Morrow County.
