In September, Cole Public Library will host a series of classes offered by Linn County Master Gardeners. Four Master Gardeners will present a garden program on four consecutive Wednesday evenings starting at 6:30pm in Room 108. The classes are free and do not require pre-registration.
The subjects and presenters are as follows:
September 2nd: Caring For Your Garden in Fall & Winter
Join Scott Morris, LCMG for a workshop on tending to the garden during the slower months. Learn basic all and winter garden care and maintenance, as well as how best to get ready for spring.
September 9th: Gardening in Small Spaces
Container gardens do not have to be three geranium, a spike, and vinca vines. You don’t need to grow only one tomato in a container; you can grow a whole salsa garden in a container. Come see what can be done with your containers. LCMG Deb Walser’s own containers will be featured along with planting instructions. You will never have a plain container garden again.
September 16th: Fall Garden Care
The harvest is in, the blooms are gone but there is still work to be done. Fall is the perfect time to set yourself up for a successful next year. Come learn about the chores to be done, ground cover, fall plantings, and more with LCMG Karie Pohl.
September 23rd: Planting in Fall for Spring Blooms
To get gorgeous flowers in your yard when winter ends, plant hardy flower bulbs in the fall before the ground freezes. Learn about a wide variety of spring-blooming bulbs including daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, alliums, and crocus. Join LCMG Deb Walser and discvoer how to plant them all!
