From the Extension Master Gardeners
Asheville – In recognition of “Older Americans Month,’ the Buncombe County Extension Master Gardener volunteers will hold a demonstration of tools and techniques for gardening for older adults on Thursday, May 16 from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. The event, entitled “Gardening as Time Goes By,” will be held at the Manna Demonstration Garden at Manna Food Bank, 627 Swannanoa River Road.
Join them to learn tips, techniques and useful information that will help gardeners, and their families, continue to enjoy this popular hobby as they age. Participants will have a chance to work in the newly constructed and planted ‘Easy Gardening Bed’ and watch demonstrations in other gardening structures that have been designed for easy access by aging gardeners.
They will also discuss tools and other devices to make gardening easier, discuss which plants work best in containers, and more. The event is free. No registration required.
