Upcoming Events in the Garden
Weeding Wednesdays
Dying to dig in the dirt or volunteer for a community project? Jump start your year with a healthy dose of fresh air and outdoor exercise with the Master Gardeners as they tidy up the Teaching Garden (located behind the Ag Center Extension building). Unless it’s raining, you’ll find us there most Wednesdays from 9am to noon. No need to schedule just show up Wednesday morning—by yourself, with a friend or in a group—and we’ll put you to work!
Pick your own?
Date that is! Can’t make Wednesdays? Need a team-building exercise for your corporate group, or a fellowship outing for your church? All groups are welcome to join us! To schedule a specific date, contact our Growline by email, or call 704-283-3822.

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day Garden-style! Activities will include making Leprechaun houses, listening to stories, flying kites, and finding all assorted types of mischief. Come by yourself or bring your entire family. Take a stroll through the gardens, walk the Heritage Trail, join the fun, and bring a picnic.
