JUNIOR GARDENER'S PROGRAM

Wilmot Horticultural Society sponsors a Junior Gardener's Program for children in grades 1 to 12. We provide flower and vegetable seeds to be planted in May. In August, we judge the gardens and give out prizes at the Society's September meeting.

If interested in being involved in the 2010 Junior Gardeners Program, please notify by May 15th:
Sandra Cressman, Telephone (519)662-2030
or Janice Wagler, Telephone (519) 662-2436

"The trouble with gardening is that it does not remain an avocation. It becomes an obsession."
- Phyllis McGinley
