Building your Garden (from prep, to plan, to planting) With Erin Schroll of Blue Herons Farm

$38.00

Join us for a Sunday afternoon Gardening Class where we explore the emerging native gardens at Marksboro Mills. Ruthie will share her experience starting the gardens, what she learned and what she would have done differently.  Erin will share how she was able to help in the gardens through the addition of plants and moving some to better locations due to soil and light. In the gardens, Erin will demonstrate proper techniques for planting your garden including seeds, plugs, potted perennials and grasses, trees and shrubs. This interactive class will cover soil basics and how container planting is different from planting in the ground whether in your garden, field or raised beds. Maintaining your plants for establishment will be part of this interactive class to ensure your gardening success in 2026. You will go home with your gardening questions answered and resources such as which tools are best in the trade and where to source seeds and plants for your gardens.
