Barbara J. Bromley, Mercer County’s horticulturist, will present a free program entitled “Rules for Successful Gardening” on Wednesday, Oct. 19 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Hamilton Township Public Library.

The many years of experience as Mercer County Horticulturist have led Barbara J. Bromley to develop some endearing and memorable rules for successful home landscaping and gardening.

Planted a tree too close to your house? You might try Barbara’s chainsaw rule. Sometimes surprising, often amusing, but always helpful, “Barbara’s Rules” try to both entertain and educate you.

Seating is limited so pre-registration is required. Registration is available by email at rmgofmcprograms@gmail.com or you may call (609) 989-6830 to register.

The Master Gardeners of Mercer County is a volunteer educational outreach program of Rutgers Cooperative Extension.
