ORONO — As the ground thaws, the air warms and the sun shines longer, the Page Farm and Home Museum at UMaine is offering a free lunchtime workshop on spring gardening — providing tips for backyard gardeners.
On April 26 at noon, the museum will host a presentation, “Getting Ready for Spring Gardening,” by UMaine Cooperative Extension’s ornamental horticulture specialist Lois Stack. Participants are invited to bring a brown bag lunch.
Stack is an expert in the field and consults for nurseries, greenhouses, garden centers and other businesses that depend upon healthy, hearty plants. She also contributes to the Master Gardener program, and speaks frequently to gardening groups. In her own home garden, Stack and her husband Phil grow most of their own food, and enjoy landscaping with native plants.
For more information, the museum can be reached by telephone at 581-4100.
