WINNERS FROM PITT COUNTY

Congratulations to the Herb Garden Curators at the Pitt County Arboretum (Master Gardeners Dorita, Knox, Mary, and Mary Jo) for winning the Madeline Collier Landscape Design Contest at the 2018 North Carolina Extension Master Gardener Conference held this week in Greenville. Their display of "Herbs Gone Spiral" depicted the new herb spiral they created at the Arboretum. The Herb Spiral demonstrates how more plants with varying sun and water requirements can be grown in a small place.
