Farmers Markets

 

TThe St Charles County Master Gardeners are participating at the St Charles Market on Main Street, between Clark and Monroe, the first Saturday of the month, May through September, from 7:30-12.

 

One purpose is to provide information on the Master Gardener program and on the many programs offered by the St Charles County Extension.  Activities to engage the public in seasonal gardening activities is stressed.

 

Another purpose is to provide research-based information.  There is literature on many different topics to hand out:  insect problems, vegetable growing, lawn care, and other topical information of the season. We also have a children's activity to engage the whole family.  We also answer questions that the public may have and offer to get back with them if we don’t have an immediate answer.  Those questions are referred to the Hortline volunteers who research the answers and get back to them in a timely manner.
