Our program was presented by Terese Goodson. Terese is from Montgomery, AL and is the current Alabama\/Mississippi Daylily Society President. She is a retired educator and she and her husband farmed beet cattle for 40 years. She became a Master Gardener in 2012. She gave a very colorful and interesting program on plants that you can use in your landscape that will provide year around color. She shared a \u201cBloom Times\u201d chart by Anne Waldo showing when many plants will be blooming during the year for this area. She also brought many plants from her own garden to show color and texture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
