Catasauqua Garden Club next meets 1 p.m. Oct. 7 at George Taylor House, Lehigh and Poplar streets. Laurie Metz will tempt all with her show-and-tell program titled “Potherbs for Your Palate.”

Exhibits are welcome, but there is no judging. Water will be provided along with cordiality and tales of gardening successes.

Wear your masks.

Please note, rain does not dampen the spirits of gardeners; however, rain will most likely postpone the meeting.
