KOC GARDEN ADVICE HELPLINE: KOC tropical gardener volunteers assist with the KOC Garden Advice Helpline from 3 pm to 6 pm each Monday at the KOC office. We can always use another gardener to help us, and we especially need coverage for June 30 and July 7 when Diana will be off-island. This is a great way to learn some new garden tips, and a chance to schmooze with other garden fanatics. To sign up for a Monday tour of duty, please contact Diana via e-mail message to HOKU DI@aol.com. |
