Plant Milton Class October 8
October 8 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
In collaboration with the City of Milton, the North Fulton Master Gardeners are offering a series of gardening classes for the beginning gardener, to be held on Tuesday evenings at the Milton City Park and Preserve located at 1785 Dinsmore Road.
The doors open at 6:30; we entertain questions and garden topics until 7:00pm, when the classes start. Each session consists of two topics and concludes by 8:30 pm. We hope you join us!
Keeping the tree in the ground
City of Milton Arborist, Sandra Dewitt, will talk about species choice, placement of trees in your yard, and general tree maintenance. If you want trees in your garden and are unsure of what to plant, this is the talk for you. She will also be available to discuss any problem issues you may have with trees in your garden.
Wild about Wildflowers
Judy Peacock, a Master Gardener, will join another Master Gardener and Milton resident Carole MacMullan to talk about wildflowers. March is one of the best months to enjoy spring wildflowers by taking a hike in the Georgia woods. As soon as the air temperatures increase and soil temperatures warm up, the spring wildflowers emerge from the ground and burst into color. The spring wildflowers take advantage of the available sunlight before the trees leaf out to complete their life cycle, flower and create seeds to ensure their survival for the next year. This presentation will focus the amazing array of spring wildflowers that bloom every March through April on the Shirley Miller Wildflower Walk near Lafayette, Georgia.
