Identify?
My point is that I CAN'T get them to be enthusiastic about the work that
needs to be done. It's more like your garden club.
As to "I knew they didn't dig (their words), but I'm saddened they
don't want to participate ..with the exception of eating. "
Well, we're always interested in eating ;+), but I've never understood how
anyone could call themselves a gardener but refuse to get down and dirty.

I can certainly identify! My MG group is completely opposite from the
local garden club. We are all enthusiastic about our projects.

Zem, I feel your pain...
I think your message sounds more like it should be under the current
subject line "Since no one..." wants to contribute...
I'm in somewhat the same boat. Our MG Nursery is very successful but I
struggle trying to get volunteers to commit to time-consuming tasks. I
can't do it all. Our group has swelled to 15 people who wnat to work in
what is called "The Propagation Group", but which I refer to as the
Nursery because there's virtually no propagating going on. I have 5
people willing to start one or two varieties of plants from seed and/or
propagate from cuttings. No one is willing to organize the potting and
digging production of 1500 plants. No one is willing to make the 2000
hang-tags. But I do have 6 members who meet at coffee shops to plan our
herb container experiment. 6 people to pot up 12 to 20 containers to see
if there is consumer interest in them. This is a small trial run that,
if it pans out, we would expand next year. I appreciate their interest
in this project, but there's a lot more things that NEED doing. If this
pattern continues, I'm just going to have to scale back the whole
program.

Auralie, you have every right to be "puffed up." Our pitiful garden
club might have to go by the boards this year because nobody wants to
serve as an officer. I knew they didn't dig (their words), but I'm
saddened they don't want to participate in any area of the club with the
exception of eating. I was the secretary for 3-1/2 years, and I think
that ought to be enough as I'm currently secretary for our local
historic zoning commission; however, I'm feeling guilty about not
volunteering again. You are very fortunate in having the group you have
in your club.
