Lori Prosser, a Gwinnett Master Gardener and GCMGA member, presented “From Cottages to Castles and Beyond – Gardens of England and France with a Tiptoe through the Tulips in Holland”. We traveled along with her and became inspired by the history and beauty of the gardens of Europe. A Master Gardener since 2006, Lori has always had a love for the outdoors, gardening and photography. Living in England for four years gave Lori the opportunity to travel and pursue her passion for photography and loves to share her view through the lens. Whether wandering the footpaths of England, traveling in Europe or gardening in Georgia… her camera is always close at hand to capture the memories. Related Images:

Vines Garden Butterfly Walk
In October, GCMGA members and Master Gardeners Shirley Bohm and Jeff Hicks led an educational walk and talk for the public at Vines new butterfly garden. Visitors learned about the life cycle of the butterfly, various host and nectar plants they like, and how to create your own butterfly garden. The masters gardeners broke ground for the project in January and it is wonderful to see the established plants along with caterpillar larvae and various butterflies! Related Images:
