Master Gardeners 19th Annual Spring Garden Fair & Plant Sale

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. If your interested in more information on the Master Gardener program call 908-654-9854 or click here for their new website.

    The Union County Division of Mosquito Control will be at the Fair to answer your questions about how to keep those pesky insects away from your property. The RCE Master Tree Stewards will also be present to answer your questions about trees, aka nature's air conditioner.

    Thanks for coming to the Fair!
