The Master Gardener volunteers of Allegany and Cattaraugus Counties have planned an exciting series of gardening lectures again this year to be held on Wednesday evenings at the Nannen Arboretum from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. Come enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Nannen Arboretum while attending lectures in the outdoor classrooms. Every Wednesday in July and August speakers will deliver information on two different topics. The classes will take place in the Northrup Nature Hall and the Chapman Nature Sanctuary. In case of rain, the lectures will take place inside the Cornell Cooperative Extension Building at the Arboretum. All lectures are free of charge. Come to one or all of the Wednesday lectures.
