Missing Your Garden?
MISSING YOUR GARDEN?
Spring ahead with gardening workshops, lectures
and trips with Reeves-Reed Arboretum!
(Summit, NJ) This month start planning your spring vegetable garden at Reeves-Reed Arboretum! Take advantage of whatever space you have and make it productive using the Square Foot Gardening method. Thought having a vegetable garden would be too much work, take too much time and take up way too much space? The Arboretum will show you how to become a successful gardener and grow a bountiful harvest in less space, in less time and with less work. Workshop takes place Wednesday, January 25, 10-11am.
Next month, learn to identify garden pests, and protect your crops using organic and environmentally friendly gardening methods. This Integrated Pest Management workshop is scheduled for Wednesday, February 22, 10:00 am—11:00 am and Saturday, February 25, 11:30 am—12:30 pm. Choose the day and time best for you.
