Garden School Day

Attention Gardeners! This Spring it's time to get back to your gardening roots - the GreenShare way!

"GreenShare Garden School" is a day of workshops to help keep those thumbs green and the environment healthy! This time around we will be offering the event at Roger Wililams Park Botanical Center in Providence, RI.

With topics ranging from "Worm Composting" to "Vegetable Gardening", there will be classes to pique everyone's interest. Classes are by registration only, but the Botanical Center will remain open to tour.

We will be having various partner groups (Ask a Master Gardener, Ask a Master Composter, RI Orchid Society, RI Begonia Society, RI Rose Society, NE Carnivorous Plant Society and RI Wild Plant Society) that will be displaying information throughout the Botanical Center to help answer those pesky gardening questions!

Everyone should take advantage of our free soil testing provided by URI Master Gardeners. Simply bring a sample(s) of your soil in a plastic bag or container to the event. Soil testers will analyze samples throughout the day. URI's Learning Landscape program will provide a children's activity.
