If you are planning to have a vegetable garden this year then you will want to join us for our program on seed starting techniques. Master Gardener Trudy West, who brought us a great program last August, will return on Saturday, February 25. Learn how to give the best start to your delicious vegetables. The hour-long program will start at 10:30 a.m. and will be followed by some time to ask Trudy some questions. Hope you will mark your calendars and plan to join us.

Teen Poetry Writers sharpen your pencils and get your best work together to share on Thursday, February 23 from 4:30-6:30pm. More details will follow in future articles.
