Longtime gardener, John Spencer will launch the event with tips on how to start a garden. Michael Tobin — a 15 year Weston Road Community Gardener whose specialty is growing enough garlic to last his family and friends through the entire year, plus use the seed for the next year’s crop — will talk about techniques for minimizing maintenance. Then, Lisa Moore — Environmental Education, Outreach and Compliance Coordinator for the Wellesley Natural Resources Commission — who enjoys learning new gardening techniques will offer an opportunity for the community to dip their toes into gardening. Thomas Engle will share information about the 4C garden as well. Side conversations may include pruning and growing flowers.
This community, in-person event is open to anyone interested in starting a garden, including those who already have plots. All attendees will be gifted strawberry starter plants.
