Our Knoxville Area Gardening Tips group will be live via Facebook this Saturday morning at 9. 

Bring us your questions about growing and caring for garden plants in East Tennessee. We’ll share responses based on scientific research, and you may help other gardeners by asking about things they, too, want to know. 

Visit our website for links to this and many other resources for happy gardening. 🌿

🌱Take seven Master Gardeners who love native plants and put them in a room with a bunch of engaged gardeners, some growing medium and a bunch of old milk jugs, and you’ll get a lot of fun and the potential for hundreds of new native plants in our city. They will be beautiful and the wildlife will thank us. 

Thank you @knoxgarden for sharing the Carriage House with us, and for joining in. 💚

To everyone who attended, thank you for your enthusiasm and great questions. We look forward to seeing you again in the spring. 

Now is a great time to try winter seed sowing for an abundance of plants later in the year. 🌱🌱
