Dirty Rascals go Zen!


I love getting reports from our clubs on what they are doing because they are so creative. Our "Dirty Rascals" Jr. Master Gardener 4-H club meets on the third Thursday of each month. The group did a really cool project this month recycling old potatoes. The group created Bonsai potatoes. The club members learned about the needs of plants and how to care for their eyed up potatoes. As the potatoes grow they will continue to care for them, water them and trim them up so they look like bonsai plants.

The next "Dirty Rascals" Junior Master Gardeners 4-H club will meet at the 4-H office on March 19. The group will be getting ready for their big fundraiser, the Master Gardener Plant Sale. The youth will be selling herbs and other plants they have cultivated. The sale takes place in front of Cox furniture on April 24, 2010. Stay tuned for more information.
