URI Master Gardener Bill Baddeley (pictured above) gave an introduction to gardening at Cranston Library’s Central Branch on May 20 that included lessons on starting seeds, vegetable gardening, and recognizing native plants. This was the second in a series of plant related events provided by the URI Master Gardener’s program. Attendees were also given an overview of a selection of books available at the library that could help on their journey toward self sufficiency and growing their own food. (Photo by Steve Popiel)
