AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoPlant-people momentum: Vankleek Hill’s annual plant sale drew a crowd and sold out fast on May 23, a reminder that spring gardening demand is still running hot. Watering rules for heatwaves: Monty Don says the best time to water is early morning (and “soak, don’t sprinkle”), while RHS guidance urges gardeners to avoid watering parched lawns and let them recover naturally. Kids get dirt time: The Mary S. Biesecker Library’s summer reading theme (“Unearth a Story”) brings back Budding Gardeners with Penn State Master Gardeners, plus animal-themed Tails and Tales. Community events: Washington County Master Gardeners host the Garden Gate Tour on June 6, and Dobbies’ Little Seedlings Club returns in Livingston with a pollinator-focused workshop on June 7. Pollinator push: Australia’s Trees for Bees grants are back, funding community plantings to build habitat for bees and other pollinators.
