Monthly Garden Talks

The purpose of the talks is to share proven, science-based gardening practices and to reach gardeners of all ages and abilities for learning new techniques, avoid bad practices, and share your own expertise.

All presentations during the year are lead by trained and/or professional gardeners and we encourage group discussions and questions.

On Wednesday, March 11 at 11 a.m., John Whitney, a manager at Redwood Nursery, will give a demonstration on 'Planting the new Season' in the back gardens of Linden Place.

Whitney graduated from the State University of New York with a degree in Greenhouse Management and has been in the garden and landscape business for over 45 years.

He will have a few different items to plant and will demonstrate how to choose the best location, how to prepare an area for planting, dig the proper size hole, and apply compost plus fertilizers for each one.
