Canandaigua Botanical Society's Newsletter: The Vasculum

 INTRODUCING: The Vasculum!

What a way to kick off our Sesquicentennial...

Beginning in 2024 Fred Haynes offered to edit a Canandaigua Botanical Society newsletter.  The Vasculum is planned to be a quarterly newsletter distributed digitally.  We plan to publish it here on our weblog and members will also receive it as a pdf file via email. 

Fred would love to receive input for future issues from any member who would like to contribute either a full article, a short text item, or simply an image or two.  The success of any club newsletter is in the diversity of its content and that is best accomplished with multiple contributors.

 The current "Fall 2024" issue is

now available here!

 

You are encouraged to submit material to fredmhaynes55@gmail.com. 

Future submissions should be to Fred by Feb. 15.  

Be sure to take a guess at our mystery plant!

Here is a chronological listing of archived issues:

                       Winter 2024; Volume 1, Number 1          

                       Spring 2024: Volume 1, Number 2
