Dr. Creech, Professor at SFA, gave use background about garden areas and lead us through the Piney Woods Native Plant Center.

This Garden is his passion! In the afternoon we toured the Mast Arboretum.

                                   

 

Truman Lamb, County Agent, along with Master Gardeners, Pam Denson, Charlotte Sanders, Mike Kelly, and James Henry gave steps to growing a successful garden. The topics included site selection, picking the right plants, irrigation, mulching, and insect control.

The lecture was well attended by the community.

A group of Anderson County Master Gardeners met early March 28 to weed the flower beds at the Neches Compost site.

The beds at Washington Early Childhood Center  were rotting and needed repair. ACMGA removed

4 of the beds that were in worst shape, and replaced them with new 4×8  beds.

Thanks to Randy Wendel and his tractor and a great group of hard working Master Gardeners.

The other 4 beds were “solarized” with a plastic covering to remove weeds.

 

 

 

 

 

Anderson County Agri-Life Offices will be moving 2 blocks away to the old bank building.  The

move will take place as soon as renovations are finished. We are all looking forward to more space

and more parking and a newly remodeled building.
