Seed Starting Class

I have some great news! There will be a seed-starting class on Thursday, January 17 from 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm at the Coweta County Fairgrounds Exhibit Hall. (The above page is captured from the County Garden Farms website announcing the class.) The class will be taught by Mike Cunningham of Country Garden Farms and I can't think of any better person because he probably has more experience than anyone I know.

My sister and I plan have already signed up and though we have had some success growing transplants, we would never turn down the expert advice that will be given at this local seminar. Growing our own transplants is a real money-saver. I think the cost of the seminar will be repaid ten times over in just the first year!

Here is the information from the flyer sent by the Coweta County Master Gardener Extension Volunteers.
