Horticultural society offers session for beginners

Gardening 101 – Mapleton Buds and Blooms will hold its first 2019 meeting on March 26 at 7:30pm at the Moorefield Optimist Hall. Soil is the topic and a pre-meeting will be held at 7pm for beginner gardeners, followed by a regular meeting at 7:30pm. The Moorefield and District Horticultural Society invites everyone to join and learn and discuss gardening basics. The March topic will address questions like, “What type of seeds to buy? When to do planting? If starting inside what lighting is appropriate? How often to water?” Everyone is welcome to stay for the regular meeting at 7:30pm. Javan Martin from Ploughman’s Choice will be speaking about soil. The group meets the fourth Tuesday of each month from March to November at 7:30pm. More Gardening 101 mini pre-meetings will be held in the future. Green thumbs of all ages are invited join. Annual membership is $8. LEFT: Hannah Veld displays some spring greenery.  Submitted photo
