Master Gardener Walk & Talk

Woman speaking to a group next to a large garden

Friday, September 12                       10:00 – 11:30 AM

Fort Hunter Park                              Free


Join Penn State Master Gardeners for a leisurely walk to learn about some of the many perennials, shrubs, and trees in the Park. Gather inspiration for your garden and gain unique information about this local Park, by learning to identify these plants, some of their pollinators, other insects or diseases, and soil or location preferences. Plants also have 'secrets' and we'll share some of them, such as being deer repellant, toxic or invasive. They are trained horticulturists and are eager to share their knowledge with you. Whether you are a serious gardener or outdoor enthusiast, you will find this Park to be a great place for a walk, get some fresh air, and relax! This is a Park Rx wellness program sponsored by Highmark Blue Shield and presented by Penn State Master Gardeners. Pre-registration is required. Meet-up specifics will be provided via e-mail to registered participants.
