Do you have a small backyard? Do you wish you had the space for a garden, but don’t want to sacrifice your entire yard to be able to grow your favorite vegetables? Or, do you want a way to have a garden without the amount of physical labor that is involved with traditional gardening. Well, an option for you is to garden is a small raised bed or containers.
There will be a program on small space and container gardening at the Ellinwood District Hospital in the Education room on April 12 at noon. I will be talking about several different ways to garden in a smaller space, and be able to answer questions to help you get started.
Space is limited, so an RSVP to Tonya Pike at 620-564-2548 is requested.
Whether you want a couple tomato plants, a bin of potatoes, or just a small herb garden, there is a garden for everyone. We hope to see you on the 12th!
