Discover a practical, research-informed approach to spring garden planning at the "Planning a Spring Garden" program hosted by the Penn State Master Gardeners of Cumberland County on Saturday, March 21, 9:30am-12:00pm, at the Penn State Extension office located at 310 Allen Road, Carlisle, PA 17013. Begin with guidance on identifying common irritant plants such as poison ivy to support safer outdoor work. Then, explore thoughtful decision-making—balancing what to preserve, what to adjust, and what to reimagine—as participants evaluate site conditions, plant possibilities, and seasonal priorities for garden bed preparation. Led by Penn State Extension Master Gardener Carol Glasgow, the program highlights achievable, step-by-step techniques rooted in extension best practices, while encouraging optimism and creativity for the growing season ahead. Participants will also create a cheerful, take-home pansy planter, with all materials supplied, reinforcing hands-on learning and seasonal inspiration. By bringing together gardening fundamentals, safety awareness, and imaginative design, this workshop reflects the Master Gardener commitment to education, stewardship, and cultivating vibrant home landscapes.
