Hudson Valley Chapter Monthly Meeting
Home of VP Rosemary and Jon Vena of Red Hook, NY
- Rosemary and John's pond is over 22 years old with currently 23 Koi and 11 Goldfish. Hopefully, the Trumpet vines will still be blooming over the far side of the pond, attracting the hummingbirds.
- We will continue with our discussion on Koi varieties and the terminology used to describe their differences. Learn what to look for before making your purchase! Please bring along your Koi cards if possible.
- We will discuss how members ponds have been fairing during the summer and talk about parasitic infections and what signs to look for and the proper treatment.
- If you had planned on bringing any plant divisions from your pond or garden you can still do so. You may also have a garden ornament or planter that you no longer have use for that would interest another member . We will ask for a small donation to the club for the plants or accessories.
- We will be raffling of a Large Bonsai "Golden Larch Forest" Donated by Joe Cortez of Poughkeepsie, NY.
- With this heat we will be keeping our refreshments to beverages and dessert treats.
- ( Bring your masks along and be mindful of your fellow members).

August 16, 2020
Hudson Valley Chapter Monthly Meeting
- Home of Frank and Peggy Almquist, Kingston, NY
- Frank and Peggy are both Master Gardeners and have the landscape to show for it. Walk the gardens and ask questions and sit next to their tranquil pond.
- We will discuss the types of plants that are best suited for your Koi and water gardens. If you have a division from one of your pond plants that you would like to share then bring it along with a precious plastic bag for transport.
- Since the Almquist's have had to deal with a variety of pesky predators that have attacked their Koi they may be able to offer some advice on dealing with the problem. Maybe you have a solution to offer!
- If you love to garden then don't miss this meeting!
- Light Refreshments will be served!
