Tool Care with Master Gardener Steve Rees. Proper garden tool maintenance is a must to keep your tools viable for years to come and to prevent the spread of plant disease. Steve will share some tips and tricks to keep your garden running smoothly.
Evenings in the Garden are held the third Wednesday of every month from June to September, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, at the College Community Gardens located at Jamestown Community College, Curtis Street (near the tennis courts). Evenings are enhanced by Master Gardeners and professionals speaking on a variety of topics that coincide with the Western New York growing season.
Guests are invited to bring their questions—and their curiosity—on the topics of discussion as well as any garden-related subject. Members of the Master Gardener Demo Garden Committee will be on hand to guide the discussions and offer resources and solutions to growing challenges, from flowers and vegetables, shrubs, and trees, to pest control and soil problems.
The event is free and open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs and enjoy light refreshments. Suggestions for future topics are welcomed as the Master Gardener Demo Garden Committee continues to foster community engagement and horticultural education.
