Sponsored by the Friends of the Library of East Grand Rapids

Learn how to re- purpose all kinds of unique containers and make them into table top herb gardens! These scrumptious little container gardens may then be transplanted outside when warm weather arrives! A few lucky attendees will go home with a little garden of their own. All will go home with instructions and perhaps a kit.

“I get to spend each day feeding my true passion. Whether I’m on my hands and knees in the garden planting seeds or turning those seeds, when mature, into a tasty meal for my family I LOVE it,” Margaux said. “I am focused on creating a healthy Heaven on Earth-Home for my family. What’s not to like about that?!”
