Thursday, April 1, 2021 at 7:00 pm. until approximately 8:30 pm. the Hillstown Grange Garden Talk goes virtual once again with the aid of Zoom Meeting. To attend you will have to have downloaded the Zoom app. It is free. You are officially invited to attend as it is open to the public to discuss several gardening topics; Calcium and Magnesium are next up in the ongoing series on Essential Elements. Saving Seed and The Difference Between Heirloom/Open Pollinated vs Hybrid varieties, Reading a Seed Packet, Soil Testing, Soil Temperature, Growing Degree Days and Controlling Damping Off Disease. For the next 6 Garden Talks there will be an emphasis on helping beginning and intermediate gardeners with information which hopefully will aid in achieving a bountiful harvest this year. So you may bring your questions, keeping in mind we basically discuss vegetable and herb gardening but are known to tuck in flowers and other plants that aid beneficial insects in the garden and around the homestead.
For further information and the code to get into the Zoom Meeting, you can contact Frank Forrest at hillstowngrange@aol.com or Dan Gallagher at daninct@yahoo.com after which you can be put on the Hillstown Grange Gardeners email list if you so wish. Links to interesting sites and attachments are sent out periodically in newsletter/emails as reminders of upcoming Garden Talks and Grange Events. Everyone is invited to the meeting of gardeners helping gardeners become better gardeners.
As always The Hillstown Grange is always looking for new members who wish to build a stronger, healthier community starting with their own backyards and expanding out into the broader community at large. The only requirement is to embrace The Hillstown Grange's spirit of all inclusive community outreach. Just contact Frank or Dan with any questions you may have and to start the process. |
