Hackensack garden classes scheduled

   Do you have a green thumb? Make plans now to attend garden classes at The Hub in Hackensack (next to the Post Office) beginning at 10:30 a.m. and learn how to make that green thumb greener!

   The first class is Monday, Feb. 20 and will focus on roses, caring for them and what is hardy in our zone.

   The Feb. 27 class will highlight clemetis. Most grow here and proper care.

   On March 13, Rhubarb and hollyhock, how to grow them and how long they live.

   The March 20 class will focus on new plants, starting seeds and more.

   The April 17 planting class will be held at Country Garden Center on Hwy. 371 north of Backus. The $17.50 fee includes basket, soil, additives and maintenance. They will hold your basket until the end of May. Plants you choose will be an additional charge.

   There is no charge for the classes, however, free-will donations are appreciated.
