  • Saturday, January 28, 2:00 pm – Gardening Mixed Media – Growing Vegetables and Fruit in the Ornamental Landscape

    The Edwardian kitchen garden sequestered behind walls is long gone. Enthusiastic gardeners with limited space and sun exposure unabashedly mix food production within the most ornamental of landscapes, even the front yard. Landscape designer and horticulturist Warren Leach will show how the ‘vegetable patch’ can be transformed, structured within raised beds, provide abundant production, and be the focal point of the landscape, in this free (with admission) Tower Hill Botanic Garden session on Saturday, January 28, beginning at 2 pm at Tower Hill. Warren, as many of you know, is the co-owner of Tranquil Lake Nursery in Rehoboth. For more information, visit www.towerhillbg.org.  Photo from www.veggiegardeningtips.com.
