Welcome! Fifteen new Brunswick County Extension Master Gardener interns have completed their training and are beginning their volunteer service. Their first project: updating educational signs in the Brunswick County Botanical Gardens.

After the October General Association Meeting, Mike and Michele Tullai led an informative and hands-on demonstration on how to make hypertufa containers—lightweight, durable, and perfect for garden use.

The finished pots are strong yet porous, making them ideal for plantings and drainage—and at about $4 each, they’re an affordable way to create custom planters. You can see examples of hypertufa containers in the Botanical Garden.
