September’s meeting featured Johnson County Master Gardener Jim Crist presenting on Front Yard Gardening. Are you interested in having more than turf in your front yard? Jim recommends Front Yard Gardens: Growing More Than Grass, by Liz Primeau.

Thanks to all the members who brought plants and seeds to exchange. Perhaps a few of us have some good starting materials for new front yard gardens!

Bill Nolde’s presentation explained our local soil conditions and how best to manage them for healthy trees, grass, and gardens.
