Tuesday, March 9 at 7:00PM

Get ready for spring with Chris and Nancy Baker, owners of Alexandria's Bakers Acres greenhouse, and the Concrete Jungle located in the Short North area of Columbus. The Bakers are known far and wide for their homegrown varieties of Coleus and Begonias. If you’re in need of planting advice you’re in luck! Join us for this question and answer session with Bakers Acres. This program is free and open to gardeners of any age!

Please note that if there should be a Level 2+ snow emergency called for Licking County that evening, our programming will have to be rescheduled.
