Have you ever wondered when plants will bloom or insects will show up in your garden?  The Hardin County Master Gardener Volunteers will be holding a garden workshop to help the public understand when things happen in the garden. 

“What Time is It – A Phenology Program” will be presented by Bill Jones, who is a Hancock County Master Gardener Volunteer.  Phenology is the science of timing of flowering plants and when diseases and insects affect them. 

Knowing when things are about to happen in the garden, will allow for the gardener to know what to look for, and how to best plan and manage issues before they affect the plants.
