Seed Giveaways!

Dear All,
Thought some of you may be interested in seeing this information.  Please note that Pike Library is one of the libraries that is giving away seeds.  Also, I thought that since they are doing a demonstration at the Mayor’s Gardens off Reed this coming Wednesday, September 5th, from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. that it would be an opportunity to learn more.  Maybe I will see you there!
 
Sincerely,
 
Janice McHenry
City-County Councillor District 6
