The state bird in Louisiana might as well be a mosquito and if you hate these pesky, biting insects as much as we do, you can deter them by growing these plants in your garden.

If you have never been to the Northwest Louisiana Master Gardeners annual plant sale, this is one of the events you should check out. The Spring Plant Sale is happening Saturday, March 30, from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. at the Randle T. Moore Center at the corner of Fairfield and Kings.

Put on your work clothes, bring your gloves and spray on mosquito repellant.   From 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. this Saturday, February 25, 2012, Cypress Nature Study Center will host an Arbor Day Tree Planting.
