have a lot to do. Volunteers are needed for prep. work (plant and
merchandise pricing, etc.) as well as many opportunities the day of the
event. |

Workdays

Tuesday, September 6
Tuesday, September 13
Thursday, September 22

Our location is LISDOLA, the
Lewisville Independent School district Outdoor Learning Area, off Highway
121. Since LISDOLA has been a longtime project of DCMGA, most of us have
worked there at some time. We have only
three
more workdays
to get LISDOLA into shape for
pubic to view the site. |

Many of us have been potting plants for the sale and "baby-sitting" them
through the long hot summer months. The last day to deliver donated
plants for resale is Tuesday, September 13 before 11:30 AM at
LISDOLA.

Publicity
We still need help distributing flyers throughout Denton County. They
can be placed in local libraries, town halls/community centers, schools,
churches, senior centers, and other locations where your neighbors and
friends meet. Extra flyers are available at the Extension Office or by
contacting Karen Archambault.

Vendors
We have approximately ten vendors who have agreed to participate in this
event. They will be selling jewelry, clothing, stationery, ironworks,
bird feeders and related gardening items. Keep Lewisville Beautiful and
the Denton County Master Naturalists are also setting up tables.

Junior Master Gardeners
Liz Gould will host a Junior Master Gardener table, making "Plant
People," along with having some information about JMG and a display
about the Children's Garden. She would like to have a few people help
in the making of "Plant People." Also, she's invites anyone who has
any experience with the Children's Garden to help out. If you are
interested, please contact Liz.

Some call it an excuse to clean, some call it an opportunity to
acquire....we call it a
White Elephant Sale
Do fall cleaning the Master Gardener way! Make room for more garden
tools, toys, and "art objects" by clearing out your garage, attic or
greenhouse and donate any unwanted items to the White Elephant Sale.
Some examples of items wanted are;
indoor/outdoor pots
birdhouses/birdfeeders
yard ornaments
trellises
tools/buckets
tomato cages
gardening books
baked goods (hey, all that gardening requires calories!)
Drop off items by Thursday, September 15
at these three locations:
- Denton County Extension Office
- 2000 Warwick Crescent, Argyle (Sandy Hiatte)
- 6949 Hidden Valley, Flower Mound (Linda Krimm)
