Lasagna Gardening

Thursday, October 12, 2017 at 1:00 PM Birch Bay Village Inn
25 Village Inn Road, Bar Harbor

Love Your Garden But Don’t Want To Dig Or Till It?

The Bar Harbor Garden Club will hold their monthly meeting at Birch Bay Village Inn on Thursday, October 12, 2017 at 1:00 PM.

Please join us for our “Lasagna Gardening” program presented by Susan Haywood, a botanist and environmental educator.  Susan will present a composting gardening technique—also referred to as ‘Lasagna Gardening’— that requires no-till soil development and layered nutrient management.   Fall is a good time to get started, since fallen leaves are a key ingredient. 

Susan is a researcher for Ram’s Head Lady Slipper Orchid in Maine since 1983, an active member of the Josselyn Botanical Society since 1977, a perennial gardener since 1980, and faculty member and co-founder of the Maine Master Naturalist Program since 2010.

This program is FREE and open to the public, but non-members are asked to reserve a seat.  Refreshments will be served. 


RSVP via E-mail: [email protected] or Telephone: 460-8496.
