There's a lot going on in Jonesboro, Ark. right now. The new nature center opened last fall, and it's very nice. It has an ampitheater, a museum, a gift shop, hiking trails and beautiful gardens.

There's also the Master Gardeners tour of gardens on May 21. If you're coming to NancyAnn's party, we're going on the tour as a group.

Ya'll don't forget Nancy's garden party. On May 20 she's taking a group of us to TN to her favorite nurseries, a hosta and daylily farm, and to tour another Master Gardener's gardens.

On the 21st, as I mentioned, she's transporting us around Jonesboro on the Garden Tour, and then we're going to Paragould for a festival.

On the 22nd, we're having the plant swap. You can find the details for it at:

I should have posted about the plant sales last weekend, but I forgot. There will be more and I'll try to remember to post them here in case ya'll might want to come.

Southlawn Nursery here also has Saturday Workshops from 10 to 11 a.m. It's a different topic each week. I've been to some of them and they're full of info and new garden friends.

If ya'll want more info about any of these events, let me know.
