All gardeners live in beautiful places because they make them so.
- Joseph Joubert
The Sauk County Master Gardener Association meets the second Thursday of each month at 7 PM at the West Square Building in Baraboo. The Board of Directions meets immediately prior.

The May meeting will involve a plant swap, so pot up those perennials that are making a run for it, outgrowing their location, sprouting in unwanted territory or just overabundant, and trade them for something different!
Also at the May meeting, Phyllis will guide us through fair entries, and our members will share tips, tricks and tools of the garden. |
