Garland previews workshop in WABI report on spring weather, gardening
WABI (Channel 5) quoted Kate Garland, a horticultural professional with University of Maine Cooperative Extension, in a report on cold, wet spring weather and how gardeners are responding. Garland told WABI that people looking for gardening advice can attend a UMaine Extension spring planting workshop at 6 p.m. June 4 at Rogers Farm in Old Town. “We’d be very happy to see a lot of gardeners out,” said Garland. “We’re going to talk about direct seeding plants into the garden, working with transplants, even how to transplant dahlia tubers and hops plants is a new addition,” and no registration is required for the workshop. UMaine Extension also offers gardening resources online. “We have a lot of bulletins and YouTube videos on how to trellis your tomatoes and prune your blueberries,” said Garland.
