News Update 5/14/13

Ed in the Greenhouse

The Master Gardeners are clearing out the last of their seedlings from the greenhouse. There will be a plant and seed pickup open to the public from 10:00 until 1:00 at the Intergenerational Garden. This is located at 6th and Morton Streets in Chester. This is a great chance to pick up some nice plants for a very low price.

We offer thanks to all the Master Gardeners for all their work and pleasant visits. Hopefully Linda Barry with the Penn State Extension Service will be able continue to secure funding for the program. The one person that really makes the program succeed is Ed Lyons the Master Gardener and Arboretum Assistant. Thanks for all you work and advice Ed.

This Thursday we will have new visitors from Eddystone Elementary School. Ms. O'Doherty's 1st grade class is coming here for a tour. Currently the Arboretum provides guided tours to groups for no fee. This is a great way to see the sights and learn a little bit about the plants and animals here. Call or E-mail us to find out more.
