The secret to next year’s perfect garden may be
this year’s preparation. Karen Cavanaugh, a Master Gardener from Cornell
Cooperative Extension, will be at the Royalton Hartland Community
Library Community Room on Wednesday, October 14 at 7 p.m. to share her
expertise on organic gardening and composting.
While
organic gardening does not involve the use of synthetic fertilizers and
pesticides, Cavanaugh’s program will show gardeners that organic
gardening doesn’t mean plants are left to fend for themselves. She will
explain the tools available to organic gardeners to help them fight off
pests and grow healthy plants and produce.
She
will also offer information about composting to add nutrient-rich
materials to fuel plant growth and vitality to your garden soil.
Composting not only creates rich soil for your lawn or garden, but it is
free, easy to do and good for the environment.
The
Organic Gardening and Composting program will provide both information
and offer participants the opportunity to ask Cavanaugh questions. This
program, sponsored by the library, is one of the many programs offered
to home gardeners and professional horticulturalists by the Cornell
Cooperative Extension in Niagara County.
