Gardening

Are you interested in Gardening? We are starting a Gardening Group. Our first meeting we will be learning to put together a container garden. We will be learning from our Master Gardener, Melody Fitzgerald.

When: Tuesday February 24, 2009
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Place: Waco Ward Building

Below are the lists of possible container gardens you can choose from. Decide which one you would like to do, pick up the supplies and bring them with you Tuesday night, then learn how to pot them, take care of them, ask as many questions as you'd like, then take the container home and reap the rewards. *** You can also come and just learn if you aren't ready to plant***

Other questions you might be wondering about ?

1. Where is the best place to buy the soil and what is considered "good quality soil?"

• Walmart is a great place and pretty inexpensive, you could also get some at a nursery.
• Buy a brand name such as MIRACLE GROW as opposed to Walmart Brand.

2. Where is the best place to buy herb plants?

• Bonnie's Nursery is the very best place to go, all Master Gardners go to Bonnie's. They have the plants, this is where Sister Fitzgerald purchased hers. Click on the link below for a map to 5198 Orchard Lane. Or you can call them for direction's 799-7909.

• You can also try other Nursery's like Westview Nursery but it may still be too early in the year to get these plants.

3. Where is the best place to get the seeds?

• Walmart, Target or Lowe's all have a great variety of seeds.

4. Where is the best place to get pots?

• The sample that Sister Fitzgerald brought on Sunday is considered a small size pot and she bought it at Lowe's. It is a hanging basket that she isn't using as a hanging basket. It cost about $3.00.
• Big Lots also carries a variety of pots and they are inexpensive.
