It was rainy and windy on Saturday, March 15, but that didn’t deter local gardeners, horticulturists, or the library from participating in the City of Monterey Parks Division's 52^nd annual Cutting Day. This wonderful event features exhibits and demonstrations, expert gardening advice, information about propagation, drip irrigation, pest control and waste management, and best of all, free plant cuttings and tree seedlings culled from the City’s parks. 

You might wonder how the library figures into this event. Well, the library has something to inspire, delight, and educate all, including gardeners!  We have books, videos and DVDs with information on just about everything that might interest a gardener, from aphids and azaleas to zinnias and zucchini.  In fact, we've just added some great new gardening titles to the collection, so come and check them out.  You'll read 'em and reap!
