Saturday's with a Master Gardener

Join Whiteside County Master Gardeners throughout the year, and explore the world of gardening! There will be a special swag bag for a lucky individual at the end of the year! Join us on February 12, 2022 for: Grab your Webster’! It’s time for Plant Phenology! “Plant peas, beets, lettuce and other cool weather varieties when the first leaves appear on the lilac bush. When lilac flowers are in full bloom plant corn, beans and squash.” Common garden folklore or common sense? Phenology in the garden is simply observing nature – from bud burst to bird migration and everything in between. As gardeners, phenology can help guide the planting schedule, along with other practical information. Join Whiteside County Master Gardeners and learn to garden by the signs. Grab your Webster’s! It’s time for Plant Phenology will take place 10AM on Saturday February 12, 2022, at the Sterling Extension Office, 12923 Lawrence Rd. Sterling, IL. You must be registered to attend, register online at: go.illinois.edu/whitesidesaturdays or by calling Mary Nelson at (815) 632-3611. Registration is limited to 25 participants, social distancing and masks will be required.
