Forsyth County, Georgia – The Forsyth County Master Gardeners invite you to attend the following programs to expand your knowledge of the topics below.  The topics range from Birds and the Garden to container gardening in the fall and planting bulbs.  These topics are sure to answer the many questions home gardeners and nature lovers have about any aspect of their gardens.  All lectures will be held at the Cumming Library on Highway 9 (Dahlonega Hwy) across from Cumming Elementary School.  The series is free to the public.
Additional programs are planned for late winter and the Mater Gardeners are looking to combine lectures with visits to gardens maintained by Master Gardeners for a first hand look at what can be done in various settings. 
Coming up:
