My Backyard is a group of like-minded gardeners who wish to explore all things connected with the landscape. The next meeting is Tuesday, March 27, 3:30 p.m. at Aldersgate United Methodist Church, 8320 South St. The discussion will focus on soil. All OLLI members are welcome.

The group meets monthly to discuss site-preparation, landscaping, lawn care, soil amendments, gardening, seeds, plants, weeds, composting and the wild life associated with the landscape (i.e. pollinators, insects and birds).

In addition to discussions, there are field trips, guest speakers and subject-matter experts to make presentations at meetings. We believe in environmentally-friendly landscaping and will be trading seeds and plants, as well as ideas. All are welcome from the novice to the master gardener.
