From April–June, gardening expert and author Melinda Myers is inviting the Boulder Junction Public Library and its patrons to participate in free webinars and activities to learn about affordable, sustainable, and beautiful gardening strategies for creating an outdoor paradise whether living in an apartment, condo, or house with a small or large lot.

The library will be hosting live watch parties at the Community Center for all three webinars. At the live watch party, attendees will be able to submit questions live and get them answered by Melinda at the end of each webinar. Patrons can also register for the webinars and watch them from home on their own device.
