TTM Yardens Gardening Club

July 29, 2015 by Sari Leave a Comment

 

The Yardens Club  left a weed for you to visit and identify; look in front of the yellow fireplug, at the State Street curb, just across Plum Street Mall from Deals.  Purslane offers amazing nutritional benefits.  You will recognize it from many sidewalk cracks, but please don’t sample this particular one.

TTM Yardens Gardening Club will begin with traditional gardening by helping the Borough of Media and local churches with their landscape projects.  Eventually, the club would like to spread the seeds of foodscaping and yardening, which is incorparting edible plants in landscapes, throughout the whole community

During college, Kathy worked as a horticulturist’s assistant at: Winterthur Gardens, the City of Newark, DE, and the Penn Botany Garden.  She has a lot of horticultural experience to share.

Lamb’s Quarter also boasts great nutritional value.

She is eager to teach proper pruning, and also the proper planting of woody plants such as trees, shrubs and vines, which are notoriously planted too deep in the USA, then heaped high with too much mulch.  Many Americans just don’t know the secrets of the Yardeners! Join Kathy on the second Saturday of each month to help spread the good news.

When:  Each second Saturday morning from 8-10 AM in the Plum Street Mall unless otherwise posted.

Wielding weed extractors from home, we are ready for business! Come help us to get some serious Yardening started in Media Borough.  Second Saturdays from 8:00-10:00 a.m.
