Gilmer County Master Gardener Extension Volunteers

Today at Boys and Girls Garden club we set out three blueberry bushes! Such fun!
Happy holidays everyone!

Master Gardeners prepare snowflakes for the Festival of Trees for Gilmer County Public Library.
They used photos of flowers and glued them on wooden snowflakes.

Next to the courthouse downtown!

Our Master Gardner Volunteers can be found at the Farmers Market, on the first Saturday of the month. The next market on Aug. 5, the Master Gardener created and decorated hypertufa pots will be available for sale.

These pots are the work of multiple Master Gardeners’ efforts. Carol Harris, Donna Houston, and Wendy Widman had a great time collaborating on the fabulous pots. We sure hope you enjoy them as much as we do. They make a great addition to a patio garden or placed into your garden beds. We hope you will stop, take a look, and may want to buy some.  

All programs are at the Gilmer County Library – 268 Calvin Jackson Dr. Elliijay

Light refreshments and door prizes! All are welcome.

Great article on Pink Muhly Grass by Laura Dennison!

The D.I.G. was in need of a slight facelift. These 10 ladies moved two tons of gravel! The D.I.G. has been open for almost a decade and now requires needed maintenance. We are on the right track.

This garden benefits all who come to the library. Many just like to browse and others enjoy grabbing a book and resting.

A big thank you to these hard-working ladies!!!
