Environmental and Natural Resources Program of the Prince William Cooperative Extension Announces Two Gardening Programs

 

The Environmental and Natural Resources Program of the Prince William Cooperative Extension has announced a “Saturdays in the Garden” lecture to be held on July 12^th, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. and an “Introduction to the Master Gardener Program,” which will be held on Tuesdays August 19^th and August 26^th, from 7 to 9 pm.

 

The Saturdays in the Garden will be held at the “Teaching Garden” at the Benedictine Monastery, located at 9535 Linton Hall Road in Bristow.  The lecture will provide gardening ideas for utilizing drought tolerant plants, herbs, as well as plants that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to your garden.  Please call the Extension horticulture Help Desk at 703-792—7747 to register or if you have any questions.  Please include a daytime phone number when you register, so the Extension may contact you in the event the lecture is cancelled due to weather and/or registrations.

 

Find out about becoming a Master Gardener Volunteer with Virginia Cooperative Extension – Prince William.  This popular program is rewarding, but involves a commitment.  If you are interested in learning more about this volunteer program, please plan to attend one of the information sessions.  The cost for this first session is free, but registration is necessary.
