IT'S A GOOD TIME TO MULCH

The Arboretum is looking in top shape right now.  Master Gardener Volunteers have spent many hours over the past few weeks spreading mulch in most of the gardens.  The mulch will help to retain moisture and suppress weeds.  We use the free mulch from the Pitt County Transfer station.  Our mulch was once your yard waste and Christmas trees.  You, too, can get free mulch.  Check out the Pitt County Website for the phone number to call to see if mulch is available.  Remember to take a tarp to cover your load when leaving the transfer station.
