First Day of Spring - Virtual Garden Event
Saturday, March 20th, 2021
1st session – 10 a.m. – 11 a.m.
Presented by the La Porte County Master Gardener Association
“The Edible Garden, Month by Month”
From seed shopping to harvest, what you need to do to keep your vegetable, herb and fruit garden on track throughout the season.
By: Beth Botts
Beth has written thousands of articles and blog posts, as an editor and garden writer for the Chicago Tribune and a freelance writer for magazines such as Organic Gardening, Country Gardens, Chicagoland Gardening and The American Gardener. She has won awards from the Garden Writers Association while exploring landscapes all over the country. As a writer and speaker, She is an evangelist for common-sense gardening that is sustainable for the planet and for people; making friends with nature; and the satisfaction of lunching on your own warm, sweet home-grown tomatoes. She tells a good story and gives solid advice. Raised on the South Side by an organic gardener and environmentalist, She now gardens in a leafy suburb on the edge of Chicago -- in the deep shade on the north side of a four-story building, in the sunny strip by the garbage cans, in pots on the third-floor porch and on windowsills in the winter. She is also a senior writer at The Morton Arboretum and a communications consultant to nonprofit organizations. Learn more about that at her other site, bethbotts.com.
