we will have a few heirloom tomato plants and Herb plans for sale to help pay for the building rent.

Hi, I'd be interested in going. You say the actual presentation is from 12-2, what is taking place from 10-12 just out of curiosity. I'm in Muskogee so it's not that far to go at all.

We will have some plant sales before and after the presentation if we can get them growing.

The Program was a huge success. We had close to 300 people show up to learn how to grow tomatoes. I need to get a program together just on container growing as so many people are so interested in that.

Congrats on your success. There is a lot of interest in container gardening, I like to combine in ground and container d/t poor soil is some areas. I'm sure a container gardening seminar would be well received.
