Just wanted to let you know that I had a wonderful time at the Plant exchange.There was a lady there(master gardener) that had lots to share and she gave me several clippings.She gave me lots of help and info. There also were a couple ladies there from a garden club that is by me.I am thinking maybe my husband and I can join,and get involved with the club. It looks like fun and it is something I would like to do .I also got some info on the classes to become a Master Gardener.Not sure if we will do that but very interesting.
