UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Penn State Master Gardeners of Lawrence County are holding their spring gardening symposium Blossoming Wisdom: Cultivating Connection from 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on April 6 at New Covenant E.P. Church, 1911 Harlansburg Road in New Castle.
Dennis James from DJ’s Greenhouse will lead a discussion about pollinator gardens. Dave Cole will present about growing garlic. Kinorea Tigri, a Penn State master gardener coordinator, will give a “Seed to Supper” presentation.
The cost for this program is $40. It includes a light breakfast, lunch buffet (with vegetarian and special diet needs options), beverages and workshop packet.
Attendees will participate in one of two Make It Take It options — either dye a handkerchief using plants, presented by Joy Wilson, or create a Bonsai tree, taught by Micheal Stern and Bob Dietz. The supplies for the Bonsai costs an additional $30.
There will also be a silent auction with great deals and a variety of unique vendors to shop from.
