There was a nice mix of residents from all areas of Juniper Village for our visit to the "4-Square Garden" at the Penn State Extension Office in Lebanon. The weather was great, too, as everyone walked leisurely around the small, but jam-packed garden, which features plants native to our area. It was designed and is maintained by a large group of Master Gardeners, who also volunteer to be tour guides. We were fortunate to have two couples on hand to explain the garden to us and answer our many questions. They even provided lemonade and homemade chocolate chip cookies at the end of our tour. It was a relaxing and enjoyable morning for all of us, and we came away with a new appreciation for the need to plant native plants, especially ones that will help the honey bee population.
