Master Gardeners to Display New ‘Catskill Edible Garden’
July 6, 2012
[LIBERTY] – Sullivan Renaissance and Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Sullivan County are co-sponsoring a “hands-in-the-dirt” gardening workshop for residents – including summer and part-time visitors – on Wednesday, July 11 at 7:00 p.m. at the Gerald J. Skoda Extension Education Center, 64 Ferndale-Loomis Road, Liberty.
Here’s a chance for first time enthusiasts to try their hand at gardening – and for seasoned planters to learn a few new techniques from master gardeners – at the free “Summer Gardening” workshop.
The workshop also features a look at CCE’s perennial teaching garden, the newly designed and planted Catskill Edible Garden, and new composting and watering equipment.
CCE Master Gardener Coordinator Susan Dollard and instructors from the master gardeners program will lead the demonstrations and discussion. “We will ask each of you to discuss your present garden (or your hopes for a garden) and the needs you may have to make improvements. Then we’ll let the master gardeners find the best way to handle these issues,” she said.
A class of 20 master gardeners completed an intensive 15-week program on May 8. A second master gardener training class will be held this fall.
Everyone is welcome but space is limited and pre-registration is requested. Refreshments will be provided. To register, contact Sullivan Renaissance at
