Many thanks to our June presenters! Phil Ciarelli's presentation, Gardening A-Z, was comprehensive & useful, even for a novice gardener. I've put several of his suggestions into practice. Brittany Jaroudi demonstrated two luscious summer desserts: Lemon Bars & Key Lime Pie. Both presentations are on our YouTube channel.
