Now is the perfect time to be planning a vegetable garden. Whether a novice gardener or an old hand, there’s nothing like hearing from an enthusiastic, knowledgeable expert to get prepared for the spring planting season. On Saturday, March 18, area gardeners will have the opportunity to get advice from an especially knowledgeable authority on the subject.
Lifetime Master Gardener and Medfield resident Betty Sanders will present “How to Have Your Best Ever Vegetable Garden” at the Medfield Public Library this Saturday at 10:45 a.m. She’ll cover topics including designing a garden, choosing what to plant, and caring for crops. The program is open to everyone without charge, and concludes when the last question is answered.
Ms. Sanders has considerable vegetable gardening expertise. She has appeared on This Old House and taught gardening techniques to the staff of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, as well as at Tower Hill Botanical Garden and the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. She has lectured at the last three Boston Flower & Garden Shows.
In addition, she designed the popular 6,000-square-foot demonstration vegetable garden at Mass Hort’s Elm Bank headquarters. She and her husband manage the Medfield Community Vegetable Garden on Plain Street for the Conservation Commission.
