Area gardeners and others with an interest in gardening are invited to attend the summer gardening programs offered at the Friendship Gardens of Hardin County. 

This summer the Hardin County OSU Extension Master Gardener Volunteers are sponsoring educational demonstration programs in the Friendship Gardens, 960 W. Kohler St., in Kenton, behind Harco Industries. Follow the ‘Friendship Gardens of Hardin County’ signs to a parking area off of West Kohler Street. The events begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday mornings and will last about an hour.

‘Fairy Gardens’ will be the focus of the July 20 garden program. Master Gardener Kim Thomas will share her knowledge of miniature fairy gardens. Participants will learn how to make a fairy garden and have the option to make their own for a $7 fee if interested. Participants are asked to bring their own container for their ‘take home garden.’

Other supplies will be furnished for this event, which allows a person to make an imaginary place for “fairies to live in your garden.” This class is appropriate for ages 6 to adult. All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

For more information about these programs, contact the OSU Extension office at 419-674-2297 or view the Hardin County OSU Extension Master Gardeners Facebook page.
