POTTING UP FOR THE PITT COUNTY ARBORETUM PLANT SALE

Master Gardeners have been busy potting up perennials, trees, shrubs, herbs, vines, herbs and roses for the upcoming (MAY 18, 2013) plant sale. Last week they braved wind and cold weather and this week it was all sun and hot! But they forged ahead being the good gardeners they are. Here are some pictures of them working. Hundreds and hundreds of plants have been divided and put in pots.
