Current Press Release

STAFFORD TOWNSHIP – Autumn is ideal to plan, purchase, and plant the bulbs that will blossom in your garden next spring. Take timely tips from Rutgers Master Gardener of Ocean County Deborah McCabe at 10:30 AM Monday, August 14, in the Ocean County Library Stafford Branch.

Deborah will explain design, layout, and bulb choices, will offer recommendations for planting, growing, and maintenance, and will demonstrate container bulb planting.

A five-year member of the Master Gardeners of Ocean County, Deborah chairs the Master Gardeners Stafford Library Outreach and also volunteers at the township’s Mill Creek Community Garden. She traces her interest in gardening to her father, who planted, planted, planted – initially as a farmer, and later as a grounds caretaker.

Rutgers Master Gardeners are trained volunteers who present horticulture programs developed by the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) Cooperative Extension.

Bring your garden questions and plant or insect samples to Master Gardeners for diagnosis and recommendations in the OCL Stafford Branch, 10 AM to 12 PM on the second and fourth Monday of each month, through September.
