Master Gardener, Shirley Barber, has been growing beautiful annuals, vegetables, perennials, and herbs from seed for more than a decade Each year she and her Master Gardener assistants germinate hundreds of seeds to be used at school and community gardens. She also installs stunning landscapes at the St. Johns County University of Florida IFAS extension grounds demonstrating warm and cool-weather All-American Selections and other top-performing plants. She has spoken at local events and state Master Gardener Conferences. You can imagine how pleased we were to have her speak at our October meeting. Her subject was, "Beautiful Gardens Begin with the Seed." She did not arrive alone. She brought a hand truck loaded with flats of seedlings, germination supplies, and handouts she developed to document every seasonal planting. See the list below.
