Garden Club Program: Envisioning A Garden For Any Home

The Garden Club of Newtown program for January will help gardeners plan for the garden they want to have this summer.  Speaker Virginia Small will conduct a participatory program, “Planning Your Paradise: Envisioning and Troubleshooting your Garden.”

The program will take place at 1 pm on Tuesday, January 24, in the Olga Knoepke Memorial Room of Cyrenius H. Booth Library, 25 Main Street in Newtown.
