The class will cover how to dig out bulbs, tubers, and rhizomes and replant correctly in other locations. Weather permitting, participants are invited outdoors for hands-on experience in helping to divide some of the plants in the garden. The event will be led by David Lowenstein, Extension Educator, and volunteers from the MSU-Macomb Demo Garden.
