I want to see Tuscaloosa made "green" again. I moved from Forest Lake in 2007 and when I close my eyes to go to sleep, I see blue tarps and barren ground which is true for so much of Tuscaloosa.

I am a Master Gardener and have been since 1992 and years before that. I don't want us to rush and plant the wrong thing in the wrong place but I hope to help educate home owners about how and when to do. We have several very good professional here in Tuscaloosa to give advice and help and don't forget our Extension Office.

Several people have voiced that they want us to do some Memorial Gardens. How better could we honor the memory of those lost in the storm than to create beautiful and soothing plantings in our town.
