| Greetings Fellow Gardeners -- Following are details for upcoming activities arranged for our NSMGA: This year's Plant Problem Clinics will begin on Friday, April 30 and run from 10AM until 12 Noon each Friday through the Summer. They will be held at Myrtle's Market again this year. The market is located at the intersection of Mr. Joe White Avenue and Oak Street in Myrtle Beach. A field trip to visit and tour the J & W Produce farm, a Community Supported Agriculture facility, has been arranged for our group. The tour will be on Monday, May 17 and beginning at 10AM. J & W is located at 5109 Highway 501 West in Aynor, just east of SC-22. It is a red building on right side and there is a sign to help with locating the facility. Some of you may have read an article about this type of facility published in the Sun News today by Johanna D. Wilson that explains "community-supported agriculture is a grass-roots solution for farmers and folks craving homegrown food from neighboring gardens. People who participate in a CSA partner with farmers and buy allotments of what farmers produce at a set price." For more details about J & W Produce check out their website at www.JWProduce.com. I hope you are able to participate in these very worthwhile activities! Shirley Minnigh |
