Ask a Master Gardener with Zachary Bull

The Gunn Memorial Library invites gardening enthusiasts and curious beginners to a special Master Gardening Program Presentation and Q&A. This informative and interactive program features a 20-30 minute presentation covering the ins and outs of the Master Gardening program, including how the classes work, who they are designed for, and what participants can expect to gain from the experience.

In addition to learning about the Master Gardening program, attendees will receive helpful tips on gardening basics and garden planning. There will also be time for questions and discussion as the schedule allows.

Guests can also ask a certified Master Gardener all their burning botanical questions. Whether you’ve been wondering why your tomatoes didn’t thrive last season, what to plant in that stubborn bare patch in your yard, or how to get started with a pollinator garden, this is the perfect space to get expert advice. Come with your queries, curiosity, and love of plants — and leave with practical knowledge, inspiration, and maybe even a new gardening project in mind!

Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting to explore the world of plants, we welcome everyone to attend!
