Wildflower Festival This Saturday

This free event at the Catskill Native Nursery will feature organically grown heirloom tomato seedlings, rare and limited stock plants as well as pottery and garden art.

Check out these featured events:

11:00 Building a small bog or wetland garden

with Hortus Conclusus Landscaping Consultants

Ever wish you could grow bog plants or wondered what to do with an existing wetland? Allyson and Scott will talk about installing wetland plants in existing high water areas and building a small bog in a yard or garden setting where one does not exist. The focus will be on three types of bog gardens; a cranberry bog, a native carnivorous/pitcher plant bog, and a decorative wetland perennial plant bog.

12:30 Creating a woodland sanctuary for rare and endangered plant

with Dr. Francis Groeters of Catskill Native Nursery

Many of our native woodland wildflowers are declining in population due to development, deer-browsing and the spread of invasive plants. Many of these beautiful plants can be grown and multiplied in the home garden. Learn how you can start your own garden sanctuary and help increase biodiversity in our local area.

2:00 The Handmade Garden

with Ken Greene of The Hudson Valley Seed Library

Whether you’re hoping to turn your thumbs green or looking for handy ways to maintain your vegetable garden, there is much that can be learned from the gardens of the past. This talk will cover everything from choosing heirloom varieties that are suited to our region to using simple low-tech techniques for seed starting, plant support, weed control, and soil health. Before you go out and buy expensive tools, plastics, and fertilizers that pollute, waste, and break, come learn how to make your vegetable garden truly affordable and sustainable.
