Spring arrives in 35 days, and you can bet members of the Tennessee Federation of Garden Clubs, District III, will be ready. You can be too.
On Saturday, Feb. 15, the 16 clubs in the five-county regional district will present A Day of Gardening, a series of seminars for all levels of interest and experience. The event will last from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 822 Belvoir Ave. in East Ridge.
Organizers say 50-minute presentations will be made at 10 a.m., 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on topics that encompass various aspects of indoor and outdoor gardening.
“At each time slot, there will be three or four presentations from which to choose,” according to a news release. “The topics are varied, and the hardest decision will be which to attend.”
