Fall is a great time to grow broccoli!

Now is the time to prepare your fall and winter vegetable garden! To help you get ready, Pender County Cooperative Extension is offering a free gardening class, covering all the vegetables and herbs you can plant now to harvest this fall and winter.  

The class will be taught from 10am to noon on Wednesday, Aug. 8, in the barn at Poplar Grove Plantation, located on Hwy 17, south of Hampstead, and again from 10am to noon on Saturday, Aug. 11 at the Pender Extension Office, located at 801 S. Walker St. in Burgaw. 

Both sessions are free, but registration is required. To register please call Pender Cooperative Extension at 259-1235 at least one day before the class date.
