BELLOWS FALLS — In 2011, Parks Place Community Resource Center began hosting an annual gardening event reflective of the theme of “helping people grow” - a concept Center staff say is at the heart of what we do.
This year, they are pleased to welcome back Henry Homeyer as guest speaker of Park Place's eighth annual Garden Event.
Homeyer is a lifelong organic gardener who writes a weekly gardening column that appears in 12 newspapers around New England. He will be discussing invasive plants: what are they, how to get rid of them, and what to replace them with.
The 2018 event will take place on Sunday, April 22, at the picturesque Alyson's Orchard in Walpole, N.H., from 2 to 5 p.m., and will include a silent auction, a presentation on “trending houseplants” by Halladay's Flowers and Harvest Barn, a variety of gifts by Grafton Grown Lavender Products, shrubs and plants for sale from Morning Star Perennials & Nursery, and a Master Gardener's exhibit.
Admission is by donation and all proceeds benefit Parks Place.
Parks Place brings health and human services directly to residents of the Greater Falls Community, services that would otherwise be inaccessible. It is home to more than 40 agencies that provide individuals and families the opportunity to make lasting, positive change in their lives.
