On Thursday, April 5, 2018, Nottingham Country Garden Club (NCGC) will feature Jacob Martin with a presentation on the History of Mercer Arboretum. He is the greenhouse manager at Mercer Botanic Gardens and has his own business outside of work called Old School Produce. He grows herbs and veggies for local restaurants. He loves very unusual plants especially ones that are edible or poisonous and prefers growing plants from seed but he also enjoys teaching about all forms of propagation.
Meet and greet time begins at 9:30 am and the program will start at 10:00 am, followed by the NCGC meeting. Please join us at the Municipal Utility Building #81 at 805 Hidden Canyon Drive in Katy 77450. For more information please see our website: https://www.ncgctx.org. We welcome all people interested in gardening and gardening related areas from West Houston and the Katy area. You do not have to live in Nottingham Country to belong to our group.
