EVENTS AND PROGRAMS
Saturday, Feb 28 from 9am to noon The Plants-n-Pots committee is having a growing and nurturing event. We are re-potting plants that are rootbound. We are also looking for cuttings which can be propagated. The goal is to increase the inventory of plants to use in the gardens and the two upcoming plant sales. Florida Native Plants are welcome. We ask the members to hold back donations of healthy plants that can be directly taken to the Clearwater Community Gardens Plant Sale.
