"Let's Get Out and Garden" Clinics

Kids learning to plant vegetablesEver wonder what type of flower you should plant? What should be in your vegetable garden? Why composting flowers and vegetables make them grow so well? What makes up a good compost pile and why every home should have one? All of this and more will be answered at Maybury Farm’s “Let’s Get Out and Garden" clinics held on Saturday and Sunday, May 15 and 16.

Saturday May 15

  • 12:00pm and 2:00pm  - "Compost: It's Not Just Rot!" and "Worm Box Demo"
  • 12:45pm -  "Professional's Top 15 Perennials"
  • 1:15pm and 2:45pm - "Plant Your Vegetable Garden"

Sunday, May 16

  • 12:00pm and 2:00pm - "Compost: It's Not Just Rot!" and "Worm Box Demo"
  • 12:45pm and 3:15pm - "Plant Your Vegetable Garden"
  • 2:45pm - "Professional's Top 15 Perrenials"

Plus buy a "feed ticket" help feed our animals and get a chance to win Perennial, Annuals and gardening books.  All proceeds will be used to help feed our animals.   Don’t forget the kids! Mr. Green Jeans will be on hand with seeds for the kids.  It is important that children learn about planting and composting while they are young.  And remember to visit our new baby animals.  The Farm is open for tours and hayrides are available at 12:00pm, 1:00pm, 2:00pm, and 3:00pm.
