Bern Township, PA - Reading Eagle
Berks County Master Gardeners will hold a free open house at their demonstration gardens at the Berks County Ag Center, Bern Township, on Saturday, July 11, from 9 a.m. until noon.
The theme this year will be "Behind the Scenes with the Master Gardeners." Visitors will be able to interact with Penn State Master Gardeners at work in the garden. Several different garden areas will be featured - the native plant garden, the rock garden, the perennial and shrub garden, the herb garden, a pollinator garden and a working compost site.
Several informal talks will be given about specific gardening skills. Among the topics will be propagation, drying herbs and flowers, caring for iris, composting, correct use of mulch and encouraging and recognizing pollinating insects. One Master Gardener will be constructing a rain barrel and will share techniques, tools and procedures for homeowners to construct their own collection barrels.
Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer questions.
