On Thursday, May 11 from 9 to 11 a.m., Hilltop Gardeners Garden Club will hold its monthly meeting at the Little White School Museum, 72 Polk Street in Oswego. U of I Extension Services Master Gardener Sheila English will give tips on how to save seeds and start them successfully with a combination of the right soil, light and care.
