Southside Library Hosting "Ask a Gardener" Community Seedling Exchange on Saturday, April 1

 

Springtime is almost here. Do you want to take your gardening skills to the next level?

 The Southside Branch of the Birmingham Public Library will be partnering with the Glen Iris Neighborhood Association, along with supporters from the Five Points South Neighborhood Association, the Birmingham Earth Coalition, the Alabama Master Gardeners Association, and a host of others to welcome Earth Month with a Community Seedling Exchange.

This event will be held Saturday, April 1, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at the Southside Branch Public Library, 1814 11th Ave. South. This event will be a wonderful opportunity for persons who are new plant parents as well as seasoned plant parents to learn from Master Gardeners ways to prepare, plant, and maintain their gardens, inside and out. 

Seedlings will be given away. Seed packets will be available to “check out” from the Southside Branch’s Seed Library. There will even be surprise giveaways.

Let’s jumpstart those gardens. Gather the tips you need to the be the “Best Plant Parent in the World”! 

Join us to celebrate the Earth and discover the wonder of nature! 

This is a great way to get an early celebration in of Earth Day 2023, which this year is Saturday, April 22!
