Join Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteers Amy Stidham and Amy Farley on May 6, 2021, from noon–1 p.m. for a fun and exciting way to garden. During this virtual workshop participants will learn to create a vertical garden in a frame using easy-to-find supplies. Those participating can build a box, use an old shadowbox, or re-use a planting box turned on its side to re-frame the garden. Participants will learn how to make a vertical succulent garden and an herb box for easy picking!

The workshop is free; however, registration is required.
