ZOOM Workshop
Creating a Pocket Meadow
|
ZOOM Workshop – Join us Online!
Creating a Pocket Meadow
With Lisa Wagner
Sat. May 16 from 10 – 11 AM plus Q&A
 “Pocket” meadows of largely native plants provide an attractive, low-maintenance, and wildlife-friendly alternative to traditional perennial plantings, great for small-scale plantings around mailboxes, along driveways, or next to the back door.
Unlike larger meadow plantings, small, informal, and simply managed meadows can be tucked into a variety of spaces in private and public landscapes, providing habitat and sustenance for pollinators and other insects, as well as being attractive landscape additions.
RSVP for Workshop HERE.
Once you RSVP, you will be emailed a workshop invitation on the morning of Sat. May 16, prior to the workshop.

 FROM WILMA: Our parents and grandparents talked about them (Victory Gardens) and the gardens may have been mentioned in our American History classes. During World War I posters proclaiming “Food will win the war” encouraged Americans to grow Victory Gardens. Not only was there a war, there was also an influenza pandemic.
During the Depression in the 1930’s Americans were encouraged to plant gardens. By World War II food and other goods were rationed. Victory Gardens were promoted for nutrition and economics and were considered part of the national defense. Posters encouraging gardening as well as food preservation became a work of art.
We don’t have the poster art, but we do have Instagram as well as other social media. I just joined a Facebook group, Victory Garden 2020 where both new gardeners as well experienced ones share growing tips and information. Even if you don’t have lots of space your own Victory Garden can be herbs or veggies grown in containers. Veggies and some small fruits can be tucked among flower and landscape plantings.

Freezing & Frosty Temps Predicted the Next Few Nights!

PROTECT your warm season vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, squash, etc) and your tender annuals (flowers , sweet potato vine, etc). Most warm season plants are happiest above 50 degrees. Cover tender plants, or if possible move tender plants to a protected area like a basement.
We have floating row cover (Reemay) for sale in 3 weights. You can also use bed sheets, buckets, or nursery pots to cover your plants. Don’t use sheets of plastic as it can burn your plants.
In Buncombe County our normal safe planting date for warm season veggies and annuals is Mother’s Day, and May 15 in the outer counties. It has been a cool spring so keep your eye on the weather and protect your plants as needed. Late May frosts are possible! Wilma says there is often cool weather during May's full moon.
