Bees, butterflies, birds and bugs...you can find out all about them at the Mercer County, New Jersey Insect Festival Saturday, September 12. The activity is sponsored by the Master Gardeners of Mercer County at Mercer County Educational Gardens, 431A Federal City Road, Pennington. It is an afternoon of family fun, education and entertainment that includes geocaching, puppet shows, bee dancing and questions and answer sessions with master gardeners.
The Master Gardeners of Mercer County are part of the Rutgers University Extension Program that teaches responsible gardening and pest management. The program was developed by the USDA to meet the demand of questions from home gardeners. You can find tips and resources at http://www.mgofmc.org/.
One of the best ways to always ensure your home has curb appeal is to pay attention to the landscaping. Whether you are a novice or veteran, the master gardeners can give you tips for how to maintain your lawn and garden on a budget and with the environment in mind. It's also an opportunity to find out if you might be interested in being a gardener and enjoying the peace and beauty that working with your hands in the soil brings. Have a great Saturday!
