Previous meetings at Melody’s have always been fun and full of conversation and gardening information.

 

This is from Melody describing the meeting:

 

“I have a huge reference horticultural library of every aspect of farming and gardening from grains, vegetable, fruit, herb, ferns, ground covers, trees and shrubs and  annual and perennial flower propagation and growing, plus info on soils, amendments, composting, mulches, landscape design, greenhouse production, plant diseass, injurious pests and beneficials. 

We could have a Q & A or delve into specific topics members want.”

Directions:

From Woodstock take either Wittenberg Rd or Rt 212 to 4 corners where they meet in Mt. Tremper. Take Plank Rd about 200 ft , go over the Beaverkill Bridge and take the first right onto Miller Rd (just before Zen Center). Go 1/2 mi to Melody’s on left.

See you then!

I want to do two things for the meeting at my house. First, I will show everyone my array of rain barrels. I have collector barrels and distribution barrels and they are all hooked up with a hose system. It’s very interesting and I think the group would like to see how it works.

Second, for those who are interested in creating their own rain barrels, I am willing to do a hands-on demonstration of how to build one. If anyone is interested, they have to do two things. First, they have to have an empty plastic barrel of some kind. Perhaps a food storage barrel, or something else like that. Second, they have to let me know, so that I can have Vince, at Woodstock Hardware, put together a set of the hardware they will need to create a rain barrel.

My phone number and directions to my house are below. I need at least two days notice if you want to construct your own rain barrel. Please let me know if you need any further information.

My phone number is  845.679.0062 and my address is 24 Wardwell Lane, Woodstock, NY.

Directions are pretty simple.

It is off of Rte 212. Coming from Woodstock it is the first left turn after Gallo’s. Coming from Saugerties it is the last right turn before Gallo’s.

Hi Everyone,

Our April meeting is this Wednesday the 8th from 6-8PM in the upstairs room at the Woodstock Library. Our guest will be Ken Greene from the Hudson Valley Seed Library. He is the one who provided us with a 20% discount for seeds for this coming growing season.

Hope to see you there,

Dennis
