By Laura Allen N.C. Cooperative Extension It’s the perfect time of the year to think about your landscape and the approaching holidays.
Rowan County 4-H has two fundraisers going on now as you prepare for the coming months. Fall is the best time to add to your home landscape. Are you interested in adding fruiting plants or trees to your yard or farm? If so, purchase them from Rowan County 4-H.
You’ll be purchasing quality plants that grow well in our area, plus you are financially supporting our local 4-H program. The 4-H Plant Sale began on Sept. 3 and we are accepting orders until Thursday, Oct.
31. This is a pre-order only sale and we have limited inventory available for each item. Do not delay or your favorite plants will be gone.
