Sunday Telegram Advances Extension’s ‘Locavore’ Weekend

In his Maine Gardener column, Maine Sunday Telegram writer Tom Atwell discussed his personal involvement with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension’s Backyard Locavore Day and garden tours Saturday, Aug. 12 in Cumberland County. He credited Extension horticulture coordinator Diana Hibbard for getting the word out, and quoted Cumberland County Extension food preservation specialist Kate McCarty, who explained what members of the public can expect to see when they visit any of the southern Maine gardens that are part of the tour.
