What you can expect from The Old Dutch Village Garden Club in 2011
The Old Dutch Village Garden Club located in Red Hook is off to a great start in 2011. Just last month there was an interesting and informative talk on garden tools by Nick Digugno, a new member. Nick also provided a handout for attendees which will be a handy reference during the gardening season.
Here are examples of upcoming events.
- April 12 is the anniversary luncheon. This club has been around since 1953.
- May 12 the talk will be on Organic fertilizers for flowers and vegetables, just in time for spring planting.
- May 20 will be the annual plant and bake sale. This is a great opportunity to get plants for your garden at a very reasonable cost.
- June 9 a Talk entitled: Everything you ever wanted to know about composting.
- July 14 is the annual picnic.
- September 8 There will be a talk given by Margaret Roach who was voted by the Hudson Valley Magazine as having the best gardening blog.
- And there is much more.
