After the workshop, there will be a work party to spruce up the Discovery Garden. Stop by the museum garden to see the third self-watering container planter. If you have plant problems or questions, ask a master gardener. The group will be sponsoring a plant clinic from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the muse- um. If possible, bring samples of your plant problem. The workshop and plant clinic are free and open to the public. Gardeners will also be selling native plants in 1-gallon and 2-gallon pots.
