Halloween fun has passed and the season of Thanksgiving is coming next. With that, the weather is changing and the fall color is still with us – for a while. So, now is a good time come out to see the fall color or just to plan a relaxing walk through the gardens or help us with some of our fall projects. You are invited to the Gardens and to bring a friend along to take advantage the many garden, sounds, sights, and smells.
UPCOMING NOVEMBER GARDEN EVENTS
If you are looking for a fun chance to learn about native plants and sustainability, you can get involved by volunteering in our volunteer gardens.
Our next scheduled community workday is scheduled for Saturday, November 21st from 9am until 12 noon (Note: Our Workday always happens on the 3rd Saturday of every month). The Teens of Madison County will be onsite to help and after garden activities we will go to the meeting room to start a “Garden Party” at about 11:30am. Please come out to join us by lending at hand, making some friends, and then having some great finger foods and refreshments.
We will also be having smaller special medicinal garden work days from 9am until about noon on special workdays that will occur on Tuesday, November 3rd, Wednesday, November 11th, and Wednesday, November 18th. All our November workdays are focusing on getting the medicinal garden renovation project completed by winter and adding plants to our Butterfly Garden.
We encourage you to sign up at the front desk to become an active garden volunteer (NOTE: That sign-up process, plus attending a workday, will earn you a free Marshall Native Gardens cap). See the workday logistics and more details below.
Thanks for your ongoing interest and support for the native gardens. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us at marshall.native.gardens@gmail.com.
