Last week's speaker was the Chalet.
The Chalet Nursery's Chief of Staff, Sandy Van Den Avont and Maddy Dubelko spoke to the club. Maddy has her Master’s Degree in Horticulture from Michigan State. She is a member of Chalet's Leadership Program where she takes on projects/assignments for up to eight weeks at a time in different areas of the business, across Chalet's three campuses, that need her expertise the most.
They shared a PowerPoint presentation, and Maddy answered numerous club member questions regarding powdery mildew, bottom blossom rot, grub removal, fertilizer, planter materials and more. Everyone's questions were answered!
