Finally — spring is here! Members of the DCA Greenhouse Group are again offering a Free Gardening Workshop on Tuesday, April 19.

Join the group to divide and transplant perennials, plant containers, and prune shrubs on the DCA grounds.

Novice gardeners will be given guidance; experienced gardeners are welcome to just help out.
