October 2014 General Meeting
Our October 20, 2014 GCMGA meeting featured Dr. Stephen Garton to our members and guests. Dr. Garton retired this year as the Extension Office Agent from Forsyth County. A knowledgable speaker growing lotus for over 20 years, he spoke explained the difference between a lotus and water lilies. It was an entertaining program and extremely informative, giving us all ideas about having our own water gardens. Related Images:
Gwinnett Farmers Markets
This summer, many of our members have volunteered bi-weekly at the local Farmers Markets in Snellville, Grayson, Lawrenceville, Suwannee, Norcross and Lilburn manning the Ask-a-Master-Gardener tents. It’s been a fun time meeting new folks, answering questions, and of course, getting the opportunity to see and buy local produce. Kathy Parent snapped this picture last Saturday (August 9, 2014) at Lawrenceville of (L-R), Betsy Jagels, Freda Steward, Sonia Freidus and Lawrenceville Mayor, Judy Jordan Johnson. Related Images:
