Gardening Workshop
WARE – Ware Grange’s next gardening workshop, “Succession Planting,” will be held on Wednesday, June 18 at 7 p.m. at the Grange Hall at 297 Belchertown Road in Ware. The presenter will be Roberta McQuaid, author of the weekly “In the Garden” column for Turley Publications. Learn how to extend the harvest by sowing and planting in succession. We will discuss easy re-sowers, such as bush beans and lettuce, and also take a look at tomatoes, peas, broccoli and more which can also offer fresh picking into the fall months and less money spent at the grocery store. Visit Ware Grange on Facebook or at waregrange.org for more information.
