Turning to the virtual realm for 2020, Bud Werner Memorial Library is teaming up the Master Gardeners to offer expert gardening advice to help you plan and maximize your summer garden. Tune in for FOUR free online sessions. Ultimately, you'll learn about the best use of our short growing season, whether your garden space is small or large. These informative sessions are designed for seasoned gardeners and those who are new to Routt County growing alike.
