(VIRTUAL) Master Gardeners Present: Mosses – Mystery in a Modern World

Program livestreamed at facebook.com/garlandcountylibrary and youtube.com/garlandcolibrary

Join us in this installment of the “Know It to Grow It” series as we venture into the mystery of mosses—how they grow, where they thrive, and what makes them special. We’ll also learn how to identify some basic examples that grow right here in Arkansas.

Presenter Jodi Tooke is a volunteer with the Garland County Master Gardeners program of the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, Cooperative Extension Service. She retired from the Air Force after 28 years in 2014 and settled here in Hot Springs on Lake Hamilton with her husband Sam.  Fascinated by what grows well and not so well, she considers her landscape one big experiment. She became a Master Gardener in 2015 to learn about plants and what makes each special and to help others do the same. Finding the right plant for the right space means exploring natives, invasives and traditional ornamentals—coming to terms with how and why they prosper. Her interest in weeds and mosses comes from wanting to understand the environment she shares with the natural flora and fauna of Arkansas.
