Upcoming Events
Growing Your Own Food from Food Scraps Children's Program
Location: Ashland Farmers Market
Date: Saturday, August 23 | Sustainability Day
Timing: 9:30 – 11:30 a.m.
Theme: Sustainability in Food Practices
Did you know that a lot of the produce in your kitchen will sprout new growth just by putting it in water or soil? This activity explores growing food from the ends and scraps of produce in your kitchen. Some examples of food you can use include: potato, green onions, celery, garlic, lettuce, carrots, beets, and turnips
.At the Farmers Market on Saturday, August 23rd, members of the Ashland Garden Club will be at the Children's Activity Table area showing children and their parents (and others interested in learning more!) how to grow food from food ends. They will share photos of actual plants grown from food scraps, and give children the opportunity to prepare 1-2 vegetables to grow in water, and eventually plant into a pot with soil. Also available will be a packet of information about how to grow from food, and a special "Observation Chart" for the children to track the growth of their own veggies!
This is an opportunity for children and parents to learn sustainable practices include minimizing food waste, and encouraging the consumption of seasonal produce, which is often fresher and more nutritious.
For the Love of Gardens
We are a hands-on garden club, made up of Ashland, Massachusetts, residents committed to cultivating a beautiful town. With a range of gardening experience from zero to plenty, our members of all ages and professions donate time and labor to tend public garden spaces and planters around town.
Helping Ashland Flower Since 1992
Before the Ashland Garden Club (AGC) was founded, one man, Rick Ghilani, worked alone to spruce up downtown with planters on Main Street and flower gardens around Memorial Square. When Rick passed away in 1991, David Foster pulled together a small group to continue his legacy. Since our official start in 1992, we have grown to more than 25 members and joined the Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts.
You Keep Us Blooming!
