How to plan a succesful garden workshop: May 25 2013

SGC Admin: It’s true some folks are just naturals when it comes to gardening, they know just what to put what so the garden looks delightful during the warmer months… Then there are the folk like me, who love gardens but seem to remain forever the novice no matter how many years spent in the garden. :) 

Luckily Durham Master Gardeners have offered to help teach us to garden successfully… :)
