2003 Year in Review

Fall Workshop for Gardeners

Fall can be a new beginning for area gardeners. Master Gardeners from Lee, Ogle, and Whiteside Counties are presenting a workshop, Ready…Set…Fall, for area gardeners October 18, 2003, at Sauk Valley Community College.

Classes teach gardening for the next three seasons. Fall classes include “Putting your garden to bed”, “Fall Pruning”, and “Ornamental grasses and fall perennials”. If you are looking to winter you might be interested in the class “It’s for the birds” for information on how to make an edible wreath.

If you have given up on this year’s garden but are looking forward to spring sign up for classes: “Spring blooming bulbs”, “Garden Ponds”, or “Growing Roses”.

Sign up for classes by Friday, October 10, at the Whiteside County Extension, 100 E. Knox Street Morrison. There are four classes to choose from per 50-minute session and the cost is $10 per person. The workshop is from 9:00 until noon.
