Posted by melissa.brown1 | November 29, 2023

MASTER GARDENER PROGRAM — Workshops & Events

In a world of infinite choices, it’s easy to make mistakes when it comes to selecting plants for our ornamental gardens or containers. Join Master Gardener Cindy Combs for a fun and engaging presentation on what, when and where to buy plants that will have you shopping with confidence. Following the 45-minute workshop, attendees will be asked to provide 45 minutes of service in the demonstration garden. The event will go on rain or shine! Please dress for the weather, bring water, and plan to get a bit dirty.

This workshop is put on in collaboration with Clark County Public Works Green Neighbors Program.
