[Image: Registering for Buds & Blooms 2007]Each year as gardeners are getting antsy about playing in the dirt and anxious for the first seedlings to pop up, we gather for an educational seminar filled with fun, food and fellowship. Sponsored by the Piney Hills Master Gardeners, this is our 3rd annual Buds and Blooms. Growing from 25 guests the first year to well over 125 this year, many have said that it is the most enjoyable gardening conference they have ever attended. Each year boasts special topic speakers, an "artsy" garden demonstration, seed swapping and wonderful brunch snacks. This educational seminar began as a fund-raiser to sponsor the 4-H Garden Contest and continues to be the sole source of monetary incentives and prizes for each contestant. Hence, the name...we are preparing young "buds" to grow and learn to be beautiful garden "blooms."
The date for this year's Buds & Blooms is February 9, 2008. A flyer with topics, speakers and other information is available below.
