SUMMARY:SAPS Meeting
DESCRIPTION:April 16\nSAPS Meeting. BrightRidge Auditorium\, 7 pm.  How to Successfully Grow Hydrangeas – Kim Whiston\, owner\, Rock House Gardens. \nHydrangeas are one of the most popular and easy-to-grow ornamental garden plants. Learn about the different types of hydrangeas and how to select from the almost endless choices on the market including dwarf varieties and ones that tolerate more sun. Kim will also explain how to grow and care for them.\nKim Whiston has been in the horticulture industry for over 40 years. She grew up around plants and when her first job after high school at the local Kmart landed her in the garden department\, she was in heaven. She then worked at a local garden center for 21 years. A believer in the value of continuing education\, she took horticulture classes at Walters State Community College as well as classes from UT and other industry colleges. She bought her Rockhouse in 2004 and at first used it as storage for her landscape business.  She eventually built a greenhouse and opened up the space for retail customers offering a diverse array of plants. She was the first woman board\nmember and was president of the Tennessee Nursery Landscape Association from 2005 – 2010. She is a member and current treasurer of the East Tennessee Nursery Association. \n**Please Note: Because our meeting is after business hours\, we can park in any available parking space including those marked Reserved. However\, we have been asked to not block the gate or access to the drive-thru window. These areas must be accessible to employees and customers 24/7.\nUse of the auditorium is a benefit we appreciate and we recognize that our presence cannot interfere with the business operations.**

SUMMARY:SAPS meeting - Beyond Monarchs and Honey bees - The Case for Diversity
DESCRIPTION:SAPS is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.   See information after the description to register. \nMonarch butterflies and honeybees have been getting a lot of press and concerned people have stepped up to help them. This is good but more than 10\,000 species of native butterflies\, moths and bees in the US\, as well many other creatures\, depend upon native plants. It is critical that we look beyond just two species! This presentation will look at communities\, specialists and the critical role of diversity in our environment.\nDr. Randi Eckel has been working with native plants for over 40 years. She founded the mail-order native plant nursery Toadshade Wildflower Farm in 1996 to further public awareness and availability of native plants.\nA life-long naturalist\, lover of nature\, entomologist\, and confirmed plant and ecology nerd\, Randi specializes in the interactions between plants and other living things. She is known for her lively and engaging lectures and workshops on growing and propagating native plants and offers interesting\, nuanced information on the complex issues facing native plants and native plant communities.\nRandi studied at the University of Delaware\, the University of Maryland\,\nand earned her PhD at North Carolina State University before continuing\nto research plant and insect interactions through her work at the USDA.\nShe now follows her passion as the owner of Toadshade Wildflower Farm\nexclusively using plants propagated and grown on-site at the farm. Randi\nis more than happy to address any native plant related topic with her accumulated\nknowledge and infectious excitement for the subject. She is\nthe past president and current vice president of the Native Plant Society\nof New Jersey. \nThis is the information needed to join the Zoom presentation:\nA reminder will be sent to members the weekend before the presentation.\nSAPS is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.\nTopic: Randi Eckel: Beyond Monarchs and Honey Bees – The case for Diversity\nTime: Feb 19\, 2026 06:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada\nRegister for the Zoom Meeting using this link:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/83351535407?pwd=avXZ1MjrOUpaxzswzIET3vcOH0GKX5.1\nMeeting ID: 833 5153 5407\nPasscode: 097530\nOne tap mobile\n+13052241968\,\,83351535407# US\n+13092053325\,\,83351535407# US \nThe meeting will be recorded.
