Martin County Master Gardener, Nellie
Wiggins and her Garden Gizmos and Gadgets.
November 17, at 10:00 am, Nellie
Wiggins led us through her history of how she became "Queen of
Recycling". Wiggins hates to throw things away especially when she got
them for "FREE" and can easily find a new and wonderful use for
each item. If half of the 65 people in attendance
take half of what Wiggins had to say seriously, we would consider this
lecture a big success. Only we can stop all of the waste that is
destroying our planet. |

A broken rake becomes a holder for your tools!

Wiggins has a down- to- earth humor and kept smiles on every face.

Keep your nails clean gardening...scrape them over a bar of soap then wash your hands. Clean!
