The Annual Lakelands Master Gardener plant sale was another great success. The city of Greenwood Horticulture allowed us to take some amazing division from their diverse plants in Uptown, they cared for them, provided greenhouse space for our seed starting and donated plants that they had in surplus. I hope they know how much we appreciate them. We also got supplies, donations and help from Ace hardware and Sungro soil supplier. The master gardeners themselves provided hundreds of divisions from their gardens. The best part is the knowledgeable master gardeners that assisted and answered questions for all that attended and made our plant sale a success. Proceeds go to extending more gardening information and scholarships for our students.

A big thank you to those hard working volunteers that came to the City of Greenwood Rain Garden to tackle invasive vines and shrubs and cut back the perennials. Getting ready for spring!

Our largest volunteer turnout today with the topiaries. 11 volunteers and 6 horticultural staff worked together. Creativity was done on the elephant, the pig, T-Rex, bearcat, and the jeep and 6 trays of cuttings were propagated. Wow!

From our brilliant Clemson extension agent, Stephanie Turner, Please Don’t Feed the Deer! This section of her article in the Index Journal has gone viral. Please help spread the word.

“Oddly enough, I’ve recently heard of individuals feeding deer to encourage them into their yard purposely. Although I’m sure that this is being done out of affection for the animals, it is not in anyone’s best interest, man or beast. Deer corn is like junk food for deer and can cause severe health issues, even leading to death. Feeding sites cause many animals to gather together and create opportunities to spread diseases between the animals who would have normally foraged alone or in very small groups. Feeding deer in a residential setting can cause them to lose their natural wariness and become accustomed to people, cars and barking dogs. It’s also not very neighborly to invite plant devouring critters into the neighborhood to make appetizers or desserts of everyone’s cultivated plants. So, let deer forage as they naturally would so they can eat a wide variety of plant material and so they can keep a healthy fear of humans.
