News from Rehoboth Garden Club

Soil Health will be the topic of our February meeting. Our special guest will be Donald Demers, Ph.D. Donald is the co-owner of Buxton Hollow Farm Natural Products in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. He will speak about the importance of soil testing and how to read a soil report. He will also discuss different natural amendments that can be used to regenerate soil, so it can provide your plants with everything they need to produce bumper crops. The community is invited. Please join us on Monday, February 19th, at 9:30 AM at the Rehoboth Congregational Church Fellowship Hall, 139 Bay State Road, Rehoboth.

Looking ahead to March, we will learn that we need to look no further than our backyard to supplement our salad bowl. Spring is the perfect time to forage common wild plants. Susan Clements, herbalist, forager and educator, will teach us how to identify and collect valuable “weeds”. Susan will provide insight into everyday uses for some of the treasures found, including medicinal and skin supporting properties for health and wellness. The community is invited to join us on Monday, March 18th at 9:30 AM at the Rehoboth Congregational Fellowship Hall, 139 Bay State Road, Rehoboth.
