Bergen County Garden Clubs: Master Gardener Caren White will start off the The Garden Club of Harrington Park’s 2018-2019 season with a presentation titled Growing Herbs in Containers on Thursday, September 6, 2018, at 7:30 pm at the Harrington Park Library, 10 Herring Street in Harrington Park, New Jersey.
What do you do if there is no room in your vegetable garden for herbs and you don’t have space for a separate herb garden? If you only want to grow a few herbs? If your “backyard” consists of a deck or balcony? If you want to grow your herbs right outside your kitchen door instead of having to walk out to a garden bed? Caren White’s answer to all of these questions is the same: grow your herbs in a container.
In her program, Caren (a/k/a the “Herb Lady”) will explain how to choose a container that will work for you based on size, capacity, weight and drainage. According to Caren, the type of soil you choose to fill your container is very important. She will discuss what substance to fill the container with for which plants, which herbs work with others and which do not, placement of the herbs, and their care after being potted.
The program will be followed by a “Q & A” session and refreshments.
The Garden Club welcomes all gardeners, active and armchair, from all towns, to their meetings and events.
