\"Crocus\"<\/a>It may not feel like it, but spring begins this month. Gardeners\u2014me included\u2014are chomping at the bit for it to get under way and for that telltale whiff in the air. (You know, that certain smell that stops you as you step outdoors one day in late winter and puts a smile on your face.)<\/p>\n

Of course, there is always enough garden-related chores to do indoors before the warmer weather arrives, and sometimes spring comes too soon for my own good. I still haven\u2019t mended my favorite gardening pants or switched my gardening paraphernalia into the larger tool bag I bought last fall or ordered a new pair of gardening shoes to replace the\u00a0ones with worn-out soles or\u00a0thought enough about my plant wish list.<\/p>\n

But, still, I\u2019m ready for the sun and soil, and I\u2019m sure you are, too. So come to Spring Fever Saturday<\/strong> <\/a>on March 6 to be with kindred spirits who want to spend the day learning how to fine tune their soil, select early blooming trees and shrubs, prune woody plants, and other such tasks to prepare their gardens and lawns for that special time of year called spring.<\/p>\n

For more information about each of the sessions offered\u2014participants may select as many as three from six topics\u2014or to register, click here<\/a> or call 718.817.8747. <\/em><\/p>\n
