December is a great time to plan what to grow, how to outwit pests and predators, fortify fencing, track down the best tools, swap seeds and stories, and count the days until spring.

November 11 through March 17, CVM meets for Garden Chat, Tuesdays, 10am at the Cushing Community Center, 465 Mill Street, Marion. If weather is hostile, we meet indoors at the COA. Public is warmly welcome.
