Witt, UMaine Gardens at Tidewater Farm featured on WLBZ
WLBZ (Channel 2) spoke with Amy Witt, a horticulturist with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, about the UMaine Gardens at Tidewater Farm in Falmouth. UMaine Extension, which has offices in all 16 counties in Maine, reaches out to the community through educational offerings, according to the report. One of its newest efforts is the garden in Falmouth where guests can learn about a variety of gardening topics, including vegetables and plants, bees, preserving harvests and wildlife, the report states. At the farm, Witt showed WLBZ the All-America Selections Display Garden, which contains plants that are being grown using researched-based techniques that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. “The plants in this All-America Selections Garden do more than to provide beauty or even food,” Witt said. “They provide horticulturalists a chance to learn just how well these plants will do in our climate.”
