Don’t worry\, we’ll have experts on site to teach you how to work in the garden.  Please bring your own water\, gloves\, sun protection\, and bug spray. We’ll have some extra gardening tools on hand\, but if you happen to have your own\, bring them!  Need more info or have questions about the event? Email admin@npi-gno.org
