While the snow and frigid temperatures are still hitting central Illinois, it doesn't mean spring isn't soon on the way. The Master Gardeners at the University of Illinois Extension in Taylorville will be ready and prepared to give help to anyone who needs it as their Help Desk will once again re-open in April.

Master Gardeners Gwen Podeschi and Sharon Hill said the Help Desk is the backbone of the Master Gardeners and they will integrate their new trainees into the system starting when it opens on April 17th.

Podeschi and Hill also mentioned their plant sale coming to the area on May 6th at the Extension Office. They said they will be selling budding flowers, bushes, and trees, among various other things.

Podeschi and Hill appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
