Basic Gardening for the Whole Family

Make gardening an engaging activity for the whole family this summer with suggestions from Marshall resident & award-winning gardener Duane Dupee. Learn about planting a vegetable garden, organic practices, the role of pollinators, & the benefits of growing your own plants whether for food or beauty. After the garden talk, learn more about the community flower show at the library in June. Everyone is encouraged to participate alongside Marshall Area Garden Club members by entering the horticulture division, Painting with Plants, or the design division, Colorful Expressions. Youth participating in select library programs will also be creating pieces for the non-judged exhibit: Youthful Blooms. It is free to enter & to attend the flower show. This program & the flower show are made possible through a partnership between the library & the Marshall Area Garden Club, giving both youth & adults the chance to explore design & color while creating a visual display for the entire community to enjoy.
