The Norwood Evening Garden Club will host biologist, gardener, writer, and entertaining storyteller, Roger Swain, on Tuesday February 28, at 6:45 p.m. at the Carriage House behind the First Baptist Church, 71 Bond Street, Norwood. The public is invited to attend. A $10.00 donation is requested.
Recognized by millions of people as the man with the red suspenders, Mr. Swain is the former host of the popular PBS-TV horticulture show, The Victory Garden, and long-time science editor of Horticulture magazine. He will speak on his favorite topic, vegetable gardening, encouraging listeners to Grow What You Eat. Mr. Swain has penned four books on gardening for which he received the American Horticultural Society’s award for writing. He is also the recipient of a Massachusetts Horticultural Society gold medal for his power to inspire others.
When he is not writing, lecturing or being filmed for television, Mr. Swain can be happily found working in his own gardens, either at his home outside Boston or at his farm in southern New Hampshire.
