GARDEN SYMPOSIUM ON MARCH 28TH
AT THE FARMERS MARKET
Join the Vance/Warren Extension Master Gardener volunteers on March 28th for the annual Garden Symposium entitled “Petals, Pollinators & Passerines.” The theme this year is “conservation through gardening”, with lessons on how garden practices can help birds, bees and native plants. Our outstanding presenters include: Dr. Elsa Youngsteadt, noted pollinator researcher at NCSU and author of The Bees of North Carolina; Dr. Annabel Renwick, native plants curator at Duke Gardens; and Christina Harvey with the Wake County chapter of Audubon North Carolina.
Registration begins at 8:30 am, with the program starting at 9:00 sharp. Register by March 17th for the early bird price of only $30, which includes refreshments and lunch. There will also be an optional afternoon workshop on Upcycling which will demonstrate how to make garden treasures out of items usually found in the trash or recycling bin. Pre-registration is strongly preferred. All the details, including the registration form, are posted at http://go.ncsu.edu/vancegarden. Or call the Vance County Extension Center
at 252-438-8188.
The Symposium is co-sponsored by the Vance County Extension Center and the Vance/Warren Master Gardener Volunteer Association (Gardeners of Kerr Lake).
