• Our first Plant Sale of the year will be Thursday, April 20 – Saturday, April 22. (You can do your shopping early, on the 19th from 9 a.m. until noon.) Let Charlie know if you can help out during the sale. Come in before then and help Ash out in the greenhouse – the sale takes a lot of preparation.
• Hilton is still looking for members to join the Hardscape Team – you don’t need previous experience to participate in this group. Let Hilton know if you can help.
• The Supply Elementary School program has had a very successful beginning. Everyone seemed to really enjoy the activities, including the MG instructors. If other schools hear about this, we may have more than we can handle. Thanks to everyone involved in the effort. We have two more sessions scheduled – April 4-5 and April 25-26.
• We will be working at the Dosher Nursing Home on a project with the Oak Island Beautification Club to improve a small courtyard. Let Charlie know if you are interested in this project.
• We continue to explore the possibility of a new program at Shallotte Middle School – keep watching for details as (or if) the program comes to be.
• The NCMGVA Board of Directors meeting will be held here in Brunswick County at the Extension Building on April 17 at 10 a.m. All Master Gardeners are welcome. Let Shirley Waggoner-Eisenman know if you plan to attend so lunch can be arranged for you.
