Garden Smarter
This award winning educational program allows Master Gardeners to share their knowledge and experience with the community. Attendees have the opportunity to ask questions, learn best management practices, and share ideas. The program begins in January with a Community Seed Swap where vegetable, herb, annual flower and native plant seeds will be available for exchange.
