Interested in growing your own houseplants? The Stafford branch of the Ocean County Library will host “The Dirt on Houseplants” on Monday, Oct. 13 at 10:30 a.m.
S. Ann Earon, certified Rutgers Master Gardener of Ocean County, will discuss the different types of houseplants and which are the most successful. She will also discuss what plants need to survive, potting plants, plant maintenance, propagation, and the most common houseplant problems and trends. Earon has learned that success in gardening is enhanced with time, money, and the willingness to toss a plant if it does not thrive.
Attendees may bring their own soil and plant samples, and questions as this program takes place during the branch’s biweekly “Ask a Master Gardener” diagnostic clinic, which takes place 10 a.m. to noon on the second and fourth Monday of each month.
To register for the talk, visit tinyurl.com/HouseplantsSTF, stop by the branch at 129 North Main St. (Route 9) in Manahawkin or call 609-597-3381.
