A Master Gardener Volunteer meeting will be held Saturday, Jan. 5 at 9:30 a.m. at the Sanborn Public Library. Anyone with an interest in gardening is invited to attend.

“With winter in full swing, it is sometimes difficult to think about gardening and warm weather,” said Margaret Murphy, Horticulture Educator with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. “These get-togethers are meant to be a fun time for any and all gardeners to get together and look forward to the next season. All gardeners are welcome; attendees need not have completed Master Gardener training.”
