Join the Jefferson County Master Gardeners and Crescent Hill Presbyterian Church in a Fall Meet the Neighbors! Located in the gym behind the church, we will have educational tables (lasagna gardening, vermiculture, winter sowing), kids activities (painting a pot, coloring, magnifying exploration with hand lens), a bake sale, a 50/50 raffle, and some free giveaways (bulbs, seeds, herb bundles) !!

Parking is limited behind the church (about 40 spots), so feel free to park on the side streets.

Whether you’re starting a new garden bed or refreshing/enlarging an existing area, sheet composting can be a great method to help control weeds while building soil.  The FREE ingredients are at your fingertips this time of year, so join the Jefferson Master Gardeners to learn how to make it happen!
