Looking Ahead to the 2019 Master Gardener Meetings:
Tuesday, September 10, 10:00 am., Tasty Tomatoes with Arnold Kaylor
The tomato is a garden favorite. Join us to answer these common questions: Which are easiest to grow in Alabama? What is the best tasting tomato? What went wrong with my tomatoes?
Tuesday, September 17, 2019 4:30-6:30 pm. September’s evening meeting will be the annual Master Gardener Coctails in the Garden affair. This is a reunion of all previous Master Gardener classes. In preparation for this, you are asked to tell your story at the one of the upcoming Master Gardener meetings.
Food to share would be appreciated. Bring something from your garden or an herb recipe that would complement our “Cocktails in the Garden” signature cocktail. Come and enjoy this autumn afternoon in the gardens with your fellow Master Gardeners!

6:00 Master Gardener Banquet with speaker Verna Gates
Wildflower Folklore - In an old Indian legend, an eagle cut out a piece of the sky to make a flower. Today those bites can still be seen, helping people identify the chicory. Before general literacy, our ancestors needed ways to learn how to identify the plants essential to their survival. These ancient memory games are delightful stories that teach in the old tradition, through stories.
DECEMBER NO MEETING
