Plant Clinics with the Master Gardeners of Manitowoc County             Tuesdays, September 5 & September 12, 10 AM-12 PM
The Master Gardeners of Manitowoc County (MGMC), in partnership with Manitowoc Public Library, will be hosting a pair of Plant Clinics at the Library on Tuesday, September 5, and Tuesday, September 12, from 10 AM until 12 PM both days, on MPL’s First Floor in proximity to the Main Service Desk. The role of the Master Gardeners is to transfer research-based horticulture information—primarily from universities—to the general public. Feel free to bring in photographs of problems you are seeing in your gardens to share with the Master Gardeners. They’ll do their best to help with plant identification, as well as disease or pest issues. Come to MPL on either September 5 or September 12—or both!—with your gardening queries to find out what information the MGMC can pass along!
 
Genealogy Help with the Genealogical Society      Tuesdays in September, 3-5 PM
Members of the Manitowoc County Genealogical Society can be found I MPL’s Manitowoc Collection every Tuesday from 3-5 PM to help people with their genealogy research.
 
Bountiful: Harvesting & Saving YourOwn Seeds
Saturday, September 9, 10-11 AM
Join Manitowoc County Master Gardeners and Lakeshore Seed Collective for a basic botany talk on flower anatomy, pollination, and seed production. There will be a demonstration of all the different types of seeds that have been collected in our gardens and in the wild. As if that wasn’t enough reason for gardening aficionados to show up to MPL’s Balkansky Community Room on Saturday, September 9, from 10-11 AM, those in attendance will be shown how to harvest their own vegetable seeds, with both wet & dry methods. AND attendees will have the opportunity to take FREE seeds home for their 2024 gardens!

All ages are invited to join us for a pair of Tuesday evenings in September at Manitowoc Public Library for something that’s a little different and fun for everyone! While FANs are typically geared toward ages 2-6, we’re going about things a bit differently this month, so make sure to read the descriptions for both evenings to get an accurate picture of what will be taking place. No registration is required for either September FAN! Please check our Facebook page and event calendar for updates!
