New: The Ouachita County - and a few Calhoun County Master Gardeners - agreed to add a project. The Dr. T. E. Rhine Park was purchased by friends, relatives and neighbors in the area and donated to be a Calhoun County Park. Brush and fallen timber has already been removed, and the county will soon remove the remains of the kitchen area. The Camden BSA Troop 6 scouts will aid with a clean up of the area next month. The first stage of the project will be a planting of a 700 foot strip of daffodils along the paved road by the park.
Coming in May: Arkansas Master Gardener State Convention - May in Magnolia
- When - May 20-22, 2010
- Where - with the Magnolia Blossom Festival and the State Championship Steak Cook-off - including Musical entertainment on the square.
