MASTER GARDENER SERIES

Spring is almost here, and the Spanish Springs Library wants your growing season to be a success. 


On the second Sunday of each month through August, the library will be hosting certified Master Gardeners who will share their expertise with you. 


Each of these events will include three half-hour talks on specific gardening topics. For the first event, this Sunday, the speakers will be addressing:

  • Cool Season versus Warm Season Crops

  • Reading Seed Packets

  • Starting Seeds

A mobile help desk will be available during these talks, so you can get one-on-one help with your specific gardening questions.
