Bees are humming, birds are chirping and hummingbird feeders decorate eaves all over Flagstaff. Signs of spring abound, and for all you gardeners, it’s time to plant! Now that snowfalls have come and gone (fingers crossed), our visions of lovely flowers and tasty vegetables are foremost in our minds.

 

To help get you started, the Coconino Master Gardener Association (CMGA) in partnership with the Coconino County Cooperative Extension's Master Gardener Program and the Museum of Northern Arizona are holding their free annual Plant Sale and Garden Festival on Saturday, May 24. Even if growing isn’t quite your thing, you’re sure to find something that delights!
