Spend some time with this year's Adult Summer Reading Program theme during this program that encourages you to play in your garden!

Join Dr. Jarrod Dortch of Solful Gardens to learn about ways you can play in the dirt. Grow your joy while also growing flowers, herbs, and veggies in a small amount of space! A bucket garden will be a visual example for discussing watering, drainage, soil depth, plant spacing, and summer plant care.
