Spring Blooms & Big Plans

The Okmulgee County Community Garden is preparing to welcome the community for a vibrant, hands-on spring event that promises something for everyone – from seasoned gardeners to curious beginners.

Set for Friday and Saturday, the two-day celebration will feature a lively plant sale, an engaging equipment demonstration, and opportunities for volunteers to roll up their sleeves and help the garden continue to grow.

Located at 1206 S. Belmont, just west of the Muscogee Creek Nation Medical Center, the garden will be buzzing with activity from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.

For more information about the plant sale, equipment demonstration or volunteer opportunities, contact Bob Seebeck at 918-2313543.
