ART IN THE GARDEN
A Learn and Grow Educational Program

Saturday, Oct. 8, 2011

All materials furnished by the instructor and the York County Master Gardeners’ Learning Garden committee.

The class is held outdoors in the garden. Please bring your own insect repellent, drink and snacks. Admission is free and open to the public. Pre-registration required by October 7, 2011. Contact the York County Cooperative Extension Office to register at (757) 890-4940.

If you register and discover you cannot attend for some reason, please notify the York County Cooperative Extension Office so someone on the waiting listing may attend in your place. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sponsored by the York County Master Gardeners of Virginia.

This workshop will be taught at the Public Learning Gardens at 301 Goodwin Neck Rd. at County Dr. in front of the Fire & Safety Building and next to York County Parks & Rec Building.
