Lake County Master Gardeners have teamed with Mentor Public Library for a pair of programs this spring.
First, the gardeners will host “Garden as We Age” at 2 p.m. April 27 at Mentor Public Library’s Lake Branch, 5642 Andrews Road in Mentor-on-the-Lake. Gardening may become more difficult as people age. However, the master gardeners will recommend tools and techniques that keep the practice possible and enjoyable, according to a news release.
Then, the gardeners will lead “Mental Health and Gardening” at 10 a.m. May 2 at Mentor Public Library’s Main Branch, 8215 Mentor Ave. They will explain how spending time outside can help with stress, anxiety and depression.
Both programs are free to attend, but due to limited space, registration is required. Sign up at www.mentorpl.org or by calling the library. Dial 440-257-2512 to call the Lake Branch and 440-255-8811 to call the Main Branch.
For those interested in gardening, the Mentor library also has a Seed Library. Patrons can check out free vegetable, flower, fruit and herb seeds from the library’s Main, Lake, and Headlands Branches. The seeds are free, and patrons can borrow up to 15 packets per season, the release stated.
