Aspiring gardeners worked alongside experienced counterparts when members of the Patrick County Master Gardeners teamed up with the Patrick County Branch of the Blue Ridge Regional Library’s Storytime program. Youngsters participating in the program helped plant, water and tend the beginnings of new blooms in the Books, Blooms and Bugs Garden.
The library hosts the Storytime program on Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. For more information, call (276) 694-3352.
The Patrick County Master Gardeners will present an informational display and handouts at the Stuart Farmer’s Market on May 27. (Contributed photos)
