Millis Garden Club Provides Food for Thought with
The Edible Landscape

MILLIS.. On Wednesday, April 16 from 7-8 pm, the Millis Garden Club will sponsor an educational program The Edible Landscape, presented by Seija Halva, a highly respected horticulturist, herbalist and Garden Coach. The program takes place at Veterans Memorial Building, Room 130, 900 Main Street (Rte 109), Millis. Registration begins at 6:30 pm, so come early and meet other gardening enthusiasts from the area. MGC programs are open to the public with a $5.00 donation at the door for non-members.

Dr. Halva will talk about designing a home or public garden with vegetables and herbs, and plants that produce fruits or berries. Edible landscape will offer year-round attraction from bloom till harvest, and also provide winter interest, and food for wild life. She will discuss how to choose plants and cultivars, how and where to plant, and how to take care of the edible plants.

From September – April, the Millis Garden Club schedules educational programs for its members and the community, in addition to hosting civic beautification projects and fundraising events throughout the year. Monthly meetings are held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at Veterans Memorial Building, unless otherwise noted. Meeting topics focus on all areas of gardening as well as ways to contribute to the beautification of the town.

For more details on the April meeting and other MGC’s programs and events, visit www.millisgardenclub.org or contact Beverly Temple at 376-1014. Membership in the club is open to the public and should be of interest to gardeners at every level and those wishing to contribute to community service.
