WABI interviews Garland about Rogers Farm Field Day
WABI (Channel 5) interviewed Kate Garland, a horticultural professional with University of Maine Cooperative Extension, in advance of a Field Day at Rogers Farm on Saturday, Sept. 8. The event is free and open to the public, and will be held from 10 a.m.–1 p.m. at the farm’s Demonstration Garden at 914 Bennoch Road in Old Town, WABI reports. “It’s a perfect time of year to showcase the garden in its prime. It’s an event that’s appealing to anyone, whether you’re a gardener or not a gardener, or whether you’ve been digging in the dirt for decades or just starting out,” said Garland. The event will include workshops, demonstrations, children’s activities, homemade food and more. UMaine Extension is extending a special invitation to all former and current Master Gardener Volunteers to attend, according to the report. “We have folks celebrating over 2,000 pounds recently donated to local food cupboards right from that garden alone, so we have some extremely dedicated volunteers that cultivate both the ornamental and the edible side of the garden,” Garland told WABI.
