Library Garden Club

Both beginners and experienced gardeners welcome.

During the growing season, March through November, work bees to keep up with gardening tasks required in the beds in front of the library, usually followed by educational seminars.

Work bee from 4:00p-6:00p 
(Please note earlier start time due to decreasing daylight hours)

This month in the library gardens, we'll be cutting down the perennials, fertilizing, and supplying some winter interest with evergreens. Hand clippers and hedge shears are the most important tools to bring along.If you have evergreen branches from your garden pruning, bring them along. Yew, juniper, arborvitae, false cypress and holly are great. Please do not bring any boxwood; the caterpillars of the boxwood tree moth should not be on the branches this late in the year, but that is not a certainty.  We do not want to give that pest any help in spreading.  After our garden work is done we will meet inside to learn about fertilizers. See you there!

Seminar/Meeting from 7:00p-8:00p

November's Topic: Fertilizers

A light dinner will be served between the work bee and seminar.
