Organic Gardening & Composting

@  the Hudson Library & Historical Society

 The Hudson Library & Historical Society will present an Organic Gardening & Composting program as part of its summer gardening series on Tuesday July 1 at 7 p.m.  The guest speaker is Master Gardener, Megan Vance.
Vance will discuss principles of organic gardening. “Organic gardening requires taking the garden as a whole into consideration such as soil conditions, zones, light and climate. When all of these factors are addressed, only then can you make the proper changes and improvements to your garden”, explains Vance. She further contends that organic gardening and composting help to encourage healthy plants and environments for plants and animals to thrive.
The Master Gardener Program at Ohio State University’s Extension provides intensive training in horticulture to interested gardeners. OSU Extension Master Gardeners answer gardening questions from the public, conduct plant clinics, engage in community beautification projects, and develop community and demonstration gardens and other horticultural activities.
Vance will also discuss organic mulches, animal and insect repellants, beneficial insects, as well as pet-friendly and child-friendly products you can make and use in the garden. Vance will also provide handouts on toxic plants and organic plant and lawn care.
This program at the Hudson Library and Historical Society is free and open to the public. No registration is required.  For further information contact the Reference Department at 330-653-3358 x 1010
