In celebration of Earth Month in Menard County both Athens Municipal Library and Petersburg Public Library have curated displays of adult and children's books celebrating Earth Day throughout the month! 

Plant something green for the environment while earning some green for the garden club! Purchase your coupons now through June. The Menard County Garden Club's annual plant sale / fundraiser has started! In collaboration with Seaney Farms, coupons purchased can be used at both Seaney's locations and a portion of the proceeds goes to the Garden Club. You can purchase coupons from club president, Patricia Heetel, by calling 708-408-8271, or from any Garden Club member. Coupons never expire and can be used at both Seaney greenhouse locations. Seaney in Tallula opens April 11. Coupons can be used for plants or produce in the spring through fall.

Are you anxious to dig into Spring? If so, you might be interested in helping to pot up plants for the Illinois Native Plant Society annual plant sale. Activities will include bumping small trees and shrubs into larger pots, digging and dividing a few native forbs, and placing tags in trays.  Email Alana at Starhill Forest Arboretum for more information.
