Garden seminars

All About Composting is the seminar topic today at 9 a.m. In the summer many of us have grass clippings, flowers that have gone by, and a variety of organic matter waiting at the curbside for the weekly garbage pick-up.

Summer is a great time to start composting. It's a nice organic approach to utilizing all of that green stuff you don't know what to do with.

Reservations are not required for the seminars, but be sure to bring your sunscreen as the pond plant seminar will take place at the outdoor demonstration pond.

For more information, call 882-8600. The center is located at 2450 S Curry St., Carson City.
