Gardening online: Can’t remember what you planted where or when? Trying to design a new bed for spring?
Is your heart soil-heavy and in need of companionship?
Then maybe it’s time to learn about the free electronic tools that can help you organize, track and landscape your garden.
“eTools for Gardeners,” part of a series of “1st Thursday” classes at the Lynnwood Library, will cover how to find solid gardening information online from 7 to 8 p.m. Jan. 7 at 19200 44th Ave. W., Lynnwood.
Go to www.sno-isle.org or call 425-778-2148 for more information.
Wrap it up: Are you usually stuck with piles and piles of wrapping paper after the holidays?
Sure, you can recycle most of it, but you’ll be even greener if you reuse it and give it another life first.
Our suggestion: Put it in your paper shredder to create colorful packing materials for your holiday ornaments or other fragile packing and shipping needs.
Find a wealth of ideas for a greener Christmas on Snohomish County Solid Waste’s “Checklist for a Lighter Holiday” at tinyurl.com/lightholidaychecklist.
