Take A Load Off at the Holding Area

Carol Kagan and Krista Cowan

After

Among the over 1,500 plants in the Master Gardener Holding Area, is a newly painted bench. Lots of work happening in that area - potting up plants, cleaning containers, and more.



Before

Thanks to Apprentice Master Gardeners Krista Cowan and Walter Wray, the old wooden bench was cleaned, painted and placed at the Holding Area. I used it yesterday after standing and potting up herbs into clay herb pots.


So, what's in the holding area and in the greenhouse next door? Plants, plants and more plants for the Master Gardener Plant Sales:
