Congrats, to the Master Gardeners of Greene County and their volunteer team!

They produced an excellent Young Sprouts in the Garden event for 2012 at the Springfield Botanical Garden, 2400 S. Scenic. Excellent comments from all of visitors and volunteers alike. Everyone seemed to enjoy the day with so much to do that included visiting the Bill Roston Native Butterfly House. The Young Sprouts, their parents and grandparents enjoyed their day at the park with smiles all around! If you were not able to attend this year’s event I hope you will make it next year!
