URI GreenShare Garden School

2008

Attention gardeners! This September it's time to go back to school - the GreenShare way!

In 2008 we are departing from GreenShare Field Day's traditional festival format to bring you "GreenShare Garden School," a day of workshops and tours designed to help you keep those thumbs green and the environment healthy!

With topics ranging from "green" gardening, to hydrangeas, to composting, we have classes that will be sure to pique everyone's interest. Be sure to bring any pesky weeds along to be ID'ed, soil samples for a free pH test, and those tricky questions for our Master Gardeners and Master Composters!
