April 4 Gardening 101 (9am & 1pm)

What better way to celebrate spring than to talk about some gardening basics that you may be wondering about. We are gardening in Maine; what plants work reliably the best? Why lime my lawn? What fertilizer should I use that is best for my yard but also our planet? I have a budget, how can I stretch my dollars? For 125 springs we have been answering these and many other gardening questions. Let’s talk gardening and learn. We will emphasize how best to Plant for the Planet in your yard! Free and well worth more!

April 11 Outdoor Gardening with Annuals and Perennials (9am & 1pm)

The classics and the new! The red, purple, yellow and blue! Butterflies can be free to fly, hummingbirds to almost sing in your garden. People change, plants too; we would love to show you what to do! Here too, there are some very awesome plants we can show you that grow well in Maine. Free

April 18 Rose Gardening for Thorny People (9am & 1pm)

Look none of us are perfect. We definitely get a little mildewy and bugged on occasion. I am talking about roses of course! But the layers of petals, the bright yet tender color, the unmatched fragrance; ahh! the pursuit of the rose. We know it can be done; let us show you how! Free


April 25 Container gardening (9am & 1pm)

There is more than one way to garden. Whether you live in a condo, apartment, or are using small spaces, gardening in containers provides a creative use of limited space. Let us show you how to grow flowers and/or VEGETABLES in containers. Free
