Portsmouth Master Gardeners Visit Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden

Posted on by

The weather was a little breezy, but on Thursday, September 29th, several of our Master Gardeners traveled to Richmond to visit the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens.  The group had a fun time touring the gardens and had a delicious lunch in the cafeteria.  The Education Committee hopes to schedule more field trips throughout the coming year.  Many thanks to those of you who sent in field trip suggestions earlier this summer.  We continue to be open to new ideas for places to go!
