AND A TEMPTING INVITATION FROM THE BEDFORD GARDEN CLUB
(LOOKS LIKE AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM, AND IT’S FREE)
I would very much [like to invite your members] to a special program event we are having on Saturday
morning, March 28th on Soil Health for Edible Perennial Gardens.
The presenter will be Ben Barkin, who has worked on more than 30 organic farms around the world and in 2008
founded his company, Home Harvest – which designs, installs and maintains organic edible gardens in the
greater Boston area. He will talk about what it takes to develop and maintain soil health and how that relates to
plant growth, the fundamentals of organic gardening, and how to properly take a soil test and interpret the
results.
The program is free and open to the public. It will be held from 10 am to noon in the Upper Fellowship Hall of
the First Church of Christ, Congregational, 25 The Great Rd, Bedford.
We hope that some of you may be interested in attending.
Thanks,
Carol Amick
President, Bedford Garden Club
[Ed. Note: There is a free public parking lot next to the Town Hall behind the church. To access it, turn left on
