Jacksboro Chamber of Commerce - The Official website for the Jacksboro Chamber of Commerce and Tourism & Visitors Center, in Jacksboro, Jack County, Texas.

Jack County Extension will hold a noontime program on Wednesday October 7 at the Scarborough Community Center to discuss Earthkind principles and roses. Earth-Kind is a designation given by AgriLife Extension to those varieties that have passed rigorous state-wide testing and evaluation by a team of horticultural experts, according to the Web site. These varieties perform well without requiring a lot of extra care that many people associate with rose gardening, Welsh noted, and while they are not immune to pest and disease problems, they have a greater tolerance.There is no charge to attend, but participants are asked to call the Extension office at 567-2132 and sign up. You are more than welcome to bring your lunch to eat during the program.
