Two Garden Walk and Talk events are coming up to discuss a variety of vegetable gardening topics.

The first Walk and Talk will be held at the garden of James Quinn, MU Extension regional horticulture specialist. James will give us a tour of his garden and discuss different Raised Bed and Intensive Gardening Techniques, which are ideal for community gardens. He grows a wide variety of vegetables and fruit and will also be able to talk about various pest and disease issues.

Thursday, June 28, 6:30-7:30 p.m.
719 W. Broadway, corner of Broadway and Anderson Parking in the Montessori School lot (directly across Anderson) is okay if no school events are happening.

Later in July, we plan to have a discussion of Fall Gardening, led by Bill McKelvey, president of the Community Garden Coalition. Bill has been a fall gardener for many years and will share some ideas for growing a host of cool season vegetables in the fall and early winter.

Tuesday, July 31, 6:30-7:30 p.m.
