ANDERSON COUNTY MASTER GARDENERS STAY BUSY DURING THE SUMMER

Heavy rains made a heavy growth of gaillardia in the Demo Garden and many weeds for the group to pull.

 

 

The June Meeting was held at the Athens Arboretum with a tour of the gardens.( See pictures above)

 

In July the group attended the AgriLife  East Texas Horticulture Day in Overton and were treated

to a display of hundreds of ornamentals. Among the favorites were coleus, ornamental

sweet potatoes (Ipomoea). Five varieties of Dahlia  were being grown under a shade cloth.
