Learn from Master Gardeners in Crystal Lake

Come take a stroll in "Saturday Mornings in the Garden" from 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays, through Aug. 14 at McHenry County College, 8900 Route 14 in Crystal Lake. The demonstration garden is located west of Building E. Master Gardeners will be on site to show you the many "gardens" within the garden. Each Saturday, a short, informal program on various topics of gardening will be presented, but Master Gardeners will be available to answer any other gardening questions as well.

On July 24, learn about "Tools to Make Gardening Easier." On July 31, find out more on "Dividing Perennials." On Aug. 7, find out about "Garden Journaling (Practical and/or Poetic).
