Meet Me in the Garden - July 16 at 6:00 pm

7/9/2019

0 Comments

 
The Spooner Agriculture Research Station Teaching and Display Garden will host visitors for a relaxing program in the garden on Tuesday, July 16 starting at 6:00 pm.  This garden session will focus on reusing found objects, recycle, and re-imagining our gardens.  UW-Extension Master Gardener Volunteers will be on hand to share tips on small scale gardening including square foot and straw bale gardens.  A tour of the gardens will highlight All America Selections annuals within this theme as well as demonstrate the gardening techniques being used in the garden. ​
Picture
This year’s theme  “Re-use, recycle, and re-imagine” comes from the All America Selections .  The displays have been created with this theme in mind.  The Teaching and Display Garden is one of eight in Wisconsin that display vegetable and flower varieties who have been awarded this designation as an outstanding cultivar.   
Save these dates for upcoming programs at the garden:  the Twilight Garden Tour on August 13 at 4:00 pm, on August 29 at 6:00 pm a program on cut flower gardens, and on September 7 at 10:00 am the program will focus on harvest, seed savings and what was learned during this garden season.  
Remember to bring your own lawn chair for the Meet Me in the Garden Seminar.  The session is free and open to the public and will be held rain or shine – please dress accordingly.  In case of inclement weather, the program will be held at the Station Building at 1035 E Maple Street (Hwy 70), Spooner.    The garden is located at 780 Orchard Lane, 1.5 miles east of Spooner on Highway 70 or 1/2 mile west of the Hwy 70/53 interchange.  Watch for garden meeting signs.
