This summer, MGPL will have two garden boxes on the lawn west of the building (Georgiana St.). Children will be growing seeds, having worm races, and learning about plants and flowers. Adults will be experimenting with different styles of vertical gardening and will be growing vegetables and flowers that can climb or that have vines. Join us for a planting party Saturday May 26 at 3 p.m.; we'll be planting seeds and tomato plants. Rain date: Tues., May 29, at 4 pm.
Get in touch with your inner gardener! Join the MGPL Golden Trowel Club! Volunteer gardeners (a green thumb is not required) are needed to help train the growing vines, remove weeds, and harvest the vegetables that are grown. Share your knowledge - and learn from others - at weed and weather workshops, shade seminars, and educational garden-related events throughout the summer and early fall. Call Nancy B., Coordinator of Programming, at 847-929-5122 to volunteer your time and expertise.
