Late winter and early spring are ideal times to dig up plants you no longer want or to divide those that have overgrown their space. It’s hard work and requires the right tools, as well as amended soil to add back into the space vacated. The Master Gardeners are willing to come to your home, dig and divide, then replant and replenish the soil for you. They will take the unwanted portion of those plants, repot them, care for them, and use them in their plant sale. Beautify your planting spaces and help their sale to be even more successful. To set up an appointment in your yard or for more information, please call Dianne Percefull (501) 723-4045 or the County Extension Service 745-7117.
