Here is the latest update on the Rutherford County Farmers’ Market from our County Director, Anthony Tuggle. The suspension of all Master Gardener activities at the Farmers’ Market has been extended indefinitely. That means we will still not be present at the market with our Concession Stand, Information Table, and Classes. We should also continue our garden routine as we have been doing for the past few months (no garden presence during market days) and please continue to practice social distancing.
Rain Garden: Thanks to Ophelia Langford for giving us an update on the Rain Garden which is coming along very nicely indeed. Many thanks to all of you who have been giving of your time to volunteer there. It is wonderful to see the progress being made. · Watering and deadheading in the Demo Gardens: Remember that those hours count towards your volunteer hours and please don’t forget to add your travel time. ·

September Association Meeting: We will not be having an online association meeting in September. Instead, we will be combining the meeting with a plant swap (Lee Etta christened it, the Swap Meeting) on the same day. Please observe the Rutherford County mask mandate once you are around others.
a.What: A Swap Meeting b.When: September 21st, any time after 5:30 pm c.Where: On ground at the pavilion and the parking lot nearby. d.Plant Swap: If you have plants you would like to swap, please park your car in the parking lot with one space between you and the next car. Plants can then be put either on the ground (or on a table supplied by you) next to your car. e.If you have something specific you are looking for, why not put your request on the FB page and let everyone know what you have to swap for it. f.Please observe the mask mandate and social distancing. g.This will be for RC Master Gardeners and Interns only. h.Not swapping? Not a problem, because you can still mingle, bring your chair and/or food and relax in the pavilion, tour the gardens, go fishing, or just enjoy chatting with whoever is around. i.Again, I know I sound like a stuck record, but please observe the mask mandate and social distancing and stay safe. |
