Bring your brown bag lunch, needles and yarn to the Gilmer County Library. Already know how to knit, come for the fun! Its OK if can’t come to all the meetings. If knitting, bring #8 needles and yarn of any color. If crocheting, bring G or H hooks and Peaches & Cream cotton yarn of any color. This is a “drop in when you can” event.
Master Gardener Series – Plant Propagation
Thursday, May 5 @ 6:00 PM
Learn the basic ways to propagate new plants from existing plant materials: which plants are good to use, how and when to propagate them, care, and replanting. We’ll have a hands-on portion where people can start a plant (most like forsythias, dead easy) and take it home. Light refreshments, etc.
