Some organizations in Appomattox come up with very creative ways of interacting with the community during the springtime.

In fact, the Master Gardeners Association hosted an event that sent the Appomattox community into a “Plant Frenzy,” so to speak.

“The Plant Frenzy, in particular, is a great time to engage face to face with members of our community and to help them learn about a variety of plants while earning funds to buy materials for our various community activities,” said Senior Extension Agent for Agriculture and Natural Resources and Advisor to the Master Gardeners Appomattox Association of Appomattox County Bruce Jones.

On Saturday, the Master Gardeners Association hosted its annual Plant Frenzy that raised money, furthered community education, and taught the community more about the organization’s quality work ethic.
