On April 19^th Shirley Bohm will give a talk about “Vines Garden Park – A Learning Garden“.  Vines Park near Loganville is one of the three heritage parks in Gwinnett County.  Previously a private botanical garden, it was donated to Gwinnett County by Bo and Myrna Adams in 1990.  Master Gardener volunteers have done the majority of the maintenance in the nine individual garden settings for more than 10 years.  This 90-acre park, including a lake and 30 acres of established gardens, is used by the Master Gardeners as a backdrop for many learning experiences.  Learn more about Vines and enjoy a picture tour of the grounds.

Member Carol Hassell is our speaker for the March 15 Zoom meeting.  She will share her knowledge about ”Protecting Land for Today and Tomorrow”.  Carol Hassell is a co-founder and Executive Director of the Georgia Piedmont Land Trust whose mission includes the preservation of open and green space in the northern portion of Georgia; the protection of water quality in area streams and rivers, habitat, working land, historical and archeological features; and education about the values of and tools for land conservation.
