In the Home & Garden section of each Saturday's Daily Sun there is a listing of garden clinics, presentations, etc. being held that week. Some are in the Villages, and some are nearby.

There is also a Sumter County Extension Office in the Government Annex Building at CR 466 and Morse Boulevard. Jim Davis, an extension agent, has his office there. Even though it's called the Sumter County office, you don't have to live in Sumter county to use their services.

Many of your Village neighbors have studied to become Master Gardeners. They volunteer their time and expertise at the various plant clinics and events held in our area.

There are also assorted Village gardening clubs. Check The Villages Recreation News magazine that comes with each Thursday's Daily Sun for the related clubs that are meeting that week. The ones I'm aware of include a landscape club, a general gardening club, a rose club, an orchid club and a bonsai club. There may be others.
