Master Gardeners Presents: Gardening in Small Spaces

Lakewood Library welcomes Master Gardener Barbara Gollman presenting on Gardening in Small Spaces. Apartment patios or urban courtyards can produce a bountiful stand of plants if you make the proper choices. Everything from containers to reclaimed grassland can be the basis of a pocket garden.

As available we will also have related seed packets and sprouted seeds to giveaway to attendees.
