2025 GPMGA Meeting Dates
The Garfield Park Master Gardener Association will meet at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 12, at the Garfield Park Conservatory to hear Gardenangelist Carol Michel present on The Genus Viola: Beyond Springtime Pansies.
Carol Michel describes her presentation as follows:
“Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Pansies are tough
But I love violas best.
Please come to this talk, and I’ll tell you the rest!”
Carol Michel is an award-winning author of several books, including five gardening humor books and two children’s books. As the holder of degrees in both horticulture and computer technology, she spent over three decades making a living in healthcare IT while making a life in her garden.
