Winter Series Lecture: Be Happy - Grow Flowers
Details:
Seeing flowers make us all happy whether they are growing in the garden, the local park, or in a vase on your kitchen table. Spread the joy by growing a picking garden at your place so you’ll always be able to enjoy cut flowers at home or to give to a friend. Flowers also play an important role in helping nurture beneficial insects and have a vital role in cross-pollination.
