Saturday, April 11, 9:00 am – 1:00 pm – Growing Plants from Seeds

There’s nothing more satisfying to a gardener than growing plants from seeds. From annuals and perennials to trees and shrubs, success can be achieved if you understand what triggers germination. Expert propagator Jack Alexander will share techniques for starting various types of plants from seeds, in an Arnold Arboretum class to be held in the Dana Greenhouse Classroom on Saturday, April 11, from 9 – 1. This workshop is for beginners and those who have been frustrated in past attempts to transform seed to seedling. Students will leave class with a selection of seeds raring to grow. Aftercare will be necessary. Fee $50 Arboretum member, $65 nonmember. Register online at https://my.arboretum.harvard.edu/Info.aspx?DayPlanner=90&DayPlannerDate=4/11/2015


Noanett Gold Sale

Noanett Garden Club invites you to participate in its annual sale of Noanett “Gold.”

Noanett Garden Club has become well known for the wonderful bright red bags of organic manure that come from a dairy farm in Western Massachusetts. When you purchase bags, you support the club and you also support the farm it buys them from. If you want to “buy local,” Noanett Gold is the way to go! And since many of you and your fellow gardeners have ordered before, you know how good this stuff is. The 40 pound bags are only $7.50 each – ten pounds lighter than last year but a true bargain.

For questions, call Lin Murray at 508-785-9876, or email murrlin@aol.com.  The Noanett Gold will be ready for pick up from Friday, April 10 through April 24.
