Lexington Field & Garden Club presents
“Preparing the Soil for Gardening” with Gretel Anspach
Gretel Anspach is a Trustee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, a Lifetime Master Gardner, and a recently retired systems engineer for Raytheon. She established and maintained a 20,000-square-foot food production garden that provides produce to the Marlboro and Maynard Food Pantries. Her primary interest and focus is the science behind horticulture.
Gretel will discuss how the soil’s quality and makeup greatly influence how well plants will do. Unlike sunlight, air, and water (the other three requirements), soil quality cannot be determined by simply looking or even by looking at the plants. She will cover structure, compaction fertility, and pH, and talk about how these qualities can be modified to create a more successful garden.
This event is Free!
