Planning Success for Your Garden Now!

If you have always wanted to grow a few juicy tomatoes or crunchy peppers, now is the time to locate the best garden spot on your property and to prepare the soil.  Get a jump on the season and allow the prepared soil to mellow as some wonderful seed catalogs are perused. 

Instructor Carl Wayne Hardeman is a Shelby County Lifetime Master Gardener who has helped found and manage gardens throughout the area.  He was also recipient of the 2016 Memphis Horticultural Society's Award of Excellence for 2016.  His interests are soil, veggies, zinnias, carnivorous plants and sustainable and natural and regenerative practices.  He lives with his wife Mimi in Collerville where he calls his backyard garden Speckled Bean Farms and writes columns for several publications. 

Program is free.  Register online at Germantown-TN.gov/registration.  For more information, contact Jef Terry at 574-0067 or JTerry@Germantown-TN.gov
