Spring! Plan your garden. Start with soil testing. Free with URI Master Gardeners, Linden Place
Come to Linden Place on Saturday, April 13, from 9 until noon, and get all the latest “dirt” on how to prepare your garden and backyard for a great season ahead. Master Gardeners from URI, along with the mansion’s gardeners will be on hand to answer your questions, provide demonstrations on spring pruning and tree trimming, and more. In addition to free expert advice, attendees to this year’s Spring Gardening Day will be able to receive complimentary soil testing. This valuable free service will help determine a soil’s pH level, texture, as well as what organic materials may need to be added for Healthy soil.
“It’s a great opportunity for anyone anxious to get out there and dig in the dirt,” says Linden Place board member Garry Holmstrom. “Along with picking up some helpful tips, gardeners will find plenty of inspiration strolling around Linden Place’s gardens.”
Attendees wishing to have their soil tested should properly prepare their samples. Gather about ½ cup of soil from various sites of the bed or lawn to be tested. (Samples should come from the root zone, about 6” deep). Mix the samples together and let them dry overnight on a piece of newspaper. Place one cup of the mix in a paper bag or container and label where it came from. Each attendee may do this for up to four separate locations in their yard.
The Spring Gardening Day event and soil testing are free. No reservations are required. Parking is available on side streets, or the school parking lot. For more about Linden Place, 500 Hope Street, Bristol, contact: 401 253-0390 or [email protected].
