With spring in the air and our landscapes waking up from their long winter’s nap, Mississippi gardeners jump into the many chores needed to get gardens off to the right start.

One of the first decisions to be made is what to plant. We flock to garden centers looking for inspiration and new plants to enjoy in the coming year. Sometimes we forget to look in our own gardens for the options we already have.

Golden Eagles Intertribal Society 11th annual Powwow will take place April 19-20.

Join Encore Performing Arts Theatre when it presents: "The Little Mermaid, Jr." at the J.C.J.C Fine Arts Auditorium. The functions are April 19 and Saturday 20 at 7 p.m. and 21 at 2 p.m.
