Master Gardener Jean Morton will
be at the Elroy Library Saturday
March 13 at 1 p.m. to share
insights on container gardening.
And with spring inching
temptingly closer, nows the
perfect time to consider the
possibilities of flowers
and vegetables
thriving in everything from
garden center containers to
cattle water tanks, old mop
buckets, and cast iron soup
pots. Jean will exchange
container ideas with the
audience and talk about soil
selection, watering, and
companion planting. Jean will
also touch on the Master
Gardener program and the helpful
services available to both
members and non-members.
When Jean Morton moved to
Elroy eight years ago, she made
the shift from gardening in Zone
10 to gardening in Zone 4 and
became an active and
enthusiastic member of the Hill
and Dale Garden Club, the Juneau
County HCE (formerly
Homemakers), and the Juneau
County Master Gardener program,
which in the last seven years
has grown from seven members to
more than forty.
After Jeans presentation,
there will be an opportunity for
gardeners to compare notes and
ask questions.
The
Friends of the Elroy Library are
sponsoring this free event. A
Caring in Communities Grant from
Thrivent supports these
projects.
