Next Sunday May 18th from noon - 5pm is the Master Gardener's of Union County annual plant sale. It will be held at Trailside Nature & Science Center in Mountainside.
Did you know that everyone that goes into the master gardener program pledges 60 hours of community service! I don't know of any volunteer group that pledges so much time, and some of the Master Gardeners that I know have put in ten times this amount. The Master Gardners is a program of the Rutgers NJ agricultural Experiment Station.
