Experienced and beginning gardeners alike are welcomed to
participate in the next “Garden Talk” of the season on Tuesday, September 25, from
6 to 7:30 p.m. Garden Talks are hosted
at the Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA) in Egg Harbor Township. These
talks are held in partnership with the Rutgers Master Gardeners of Atlantic
County. These informal talks at the ACUA’s Community Garden offer a chance to
learn from knowledgeable Master Gardeners and for participants to ask
questions about growing their own healthy food.
Master Gardener Sue
Scarlett will share timely information on cleaning up your garden and preparing
for next year. The importance of cleaning up in the garden as the season winds
down will also be discussed along with practical steps to take in your home
garden at this time of the year. Scarlett’s presentation draws not only from
the research available through the Rutgers Cooperative Extension service, but
also from her personal knowledge derived from many years of growing vegetables organically
in her home garden.
When the weather is good, these talks are held in ACUA’s
Community Garden, which offers spaces for those who cannot garden at home. “Garden
Talks” move indoors in the building next to the
garden when needed. The garden is located at the ACUA’s Environmental Park,
6700 Delilah Road, in Egg Harbor Township. This event is free and open to
the public. For more information, please go to www.acua.com or call
