Master Gardeners Out and About

Reno County Master Gardeners have had a busy late summer and early Fall so far. Here are some of the activities master gardener's are doing for the community.

Mary Nowlan of Hutchinson was the winner of Herb Shears  donated by Apron Strings at a September Farmer's Market. Reno County Extension Master Gardeners (RCEMG) shared knowledge on attracting birds to the garden.

Master Gardener Jack Zabel shares his feeder for Baltimore Orioles. They love oranges. Put grape jelly in the lower dish and he guarantees you'll attract some wonderful Avarian friends!

These garden sites are located next to the pond on the east side of the library. Fall is a beautiful time to check out the full magnificence of these gardens and get ideas for your own garden.
