The 2010 Gardening Series is making its way to Smyrna Public Library this month.
Each month a Master Gardener from the area will discuss a different topic and entertain questions from those in attendance at different Linebaugh Library System branches. The sessions will be held at a different location on the fourth Saturday of each month from 10 am – 11 am. This month, the class will be held at the Smyrna Public Library in the conference room.
On Saturday, Feb. 20 at 10 am, a Rutherford County Master Gardener will present “Get Ready for Spring Planning.” The Master Gardener asks that all those interested bring spring planting questions, a pencil, notepaper and a desire to learn how to get that new garden growing. The class is free and open to the public.
Tennessee Master Gardeners are trained volunteers that help the Extension Service share the latest and greatest gardening information. All volunteers are trained with 40 hours of horticultural classes and return 40 hours of volunteer community service through their Extension office. The Master Gardener Program is offered by The University of Tennessee Extension. Its main goal is to increase the availability of horticultural information to improve quality of life with community garden/landscape programs. This could only be possible through the training and utilization of local volunteers.
Smyrna Public Library is located at 400 Enon Springs Road West in Smyrna. The Library is the cornerstone of our community, enriching lives through free resources for learning, fun, and opportunity. For more information, call 615-459-4884 or visit www.linebaugh.org. |
