Master Gardeners with the University of Illinois Extension held a successful plant sale and will now focus on local farmers markets and workshops. Coming up are their ‘Four Seasons’ and Native Trees and Shrubs workshops with another plant sale scheduled in Carlinville. For those that are struggling with their new plants, the Master Gardeners HelpDesk is back up and running on Thursday mornings too.

Sandi Klein and Linda Smith, Master Gardeners with the University of Illinois Extension, recap the plant sale while thanking those that attended.

Any questions or concerns regarding your plants at home could be answered with the Master Gardeners HelpDesk. On Thursday mornings from now until September, you may call or provide a sample of your plant, to get the help you need.

Smith talks about the best ways to get detailed information on when and how to plant your garden.

In addition to the stops at local farmers markets, the University of Illinois Extension will be putting on several more workshops. On May 14th, master gardeners will host a native trees and shrubs selection course, followed by a ‘Four Seasons’ class with a focus on Summer, happening May 20th.
