A Plant To Watch For At Our Next Plant Sale
A Minnesota native, Jack-in-the-pulpit (JITP)
Blooming April-June Growing 1-3' tall. This plant first appears as a 4-8"greenish horn sticking out of the ground. The horn then goes on to open up to how you see it in the photo. The pitcher shaped vessel resembles the Carnivorous Pitcher plant. It is not a carnivorous plant. The JITP plant uses its pitcher for attracting small insects like the fungus gnat for pollination. Lot of interesting conversation for sharing at a garden gathering. To learn more about them check out this link from the Connecticut Audubon Society. https://share.google/TyRvkd8lqt7l2ikEQ
Happy Gardening

Wright County Horticultural Society Your Gardening Hub
Connect with local gardening enthusiasts, fostering growth and friendship among gardeners.
The Wright County Horticultural Society is a garden club based in Buffalo, Minnesota, established in 1978. The club is dedicated to sharing knowledge of horticulture and new gardening techniques. We unite gardening enthusiasts of all ages who are passionate about nurturing plants and enhancing horticulture within our community through monthly meetings and knowledgeable speakers.
Garden Club Meetings
We meet monthly from March to December. In the spring and fall (March-April, August-November), we host experienced speakers at our meetings and the public is welcome to attend. These presentations are on the second Monday of the month, at 6:30 pm at Buffalo Covenant Church, located at 1601 Hwy 25 N, Buffalo, Minnesota. (We meet at a church even though we are not a religious organization.) After the speaker, we have a business meeting with snacks.
During the summer, June & July, we meet at a private or public garden for a tour. You must be a member to attend. Please contact us to join, and get the address and date.
In December, we meet on the second Monday of the month for a private holiday party with a potluck. You must be a member to attend. Please contact us to join.
Speakers on Horticulture
At our garden club, we host experienced and knowledgeable speakers to share the latest techniques in gardening and provide valuable horticulture advice. Our sessions have covered a variety of topics for gardening enthusiasts, including effective techniques to preserve your fall harvest by drying and canning vegetables, growing plants in straw bale gardens with Joel Karsten, bee keeping with Gregg Hermerding and John Jarvela (pictured here), maple syrup production by St. Johns University, grass-fed beef farming from Thousand Hills, and animal biology presented by naturalist Stan Tekiela (see more on Past Events). If you would like to suggest a speaker or offer a presentation to our club, please Contact Us.
