Appreciate the wonder of nature and join us as Forsyth County Cooperative Extension Horticulturists Leslie Peck and Mary Jac Brennen discuss plants you might find as you wander through your yard, neighborhood or local park. We will ask you to go on a “scavenger hunt” for nature items before our session. Bring your items to our online group and we’ll see if the horticulturists can identify them! REGISTER FOR NATURE SCAVENGER HUNT HERE!

Hirsch would be happy to have Cancer Services’ clients join in on their classes and there are many to choose from next week! All are free of charge!
