The Olde Ripton Garden Club will present a program on Garden Edibles that will cover the 10 top healthiest nutrient dense edibles to grow, edible flowers and weeds, edible landscaping and organic gardens.

Barb Scala, Certified Master Gardener, takes a refreshing approach to living and eating well. Her talk centers on how to take control of our total well-being and create a balanced life focusing on fresh and healthy foods.  She is a regular contributor on Good Morning CT providing recipes and lifestyle tips.

The program will be held on September 10th at 10 am at the Plumb Library, 65 Wooster Street, Shelton.  The event is open to the public and non-members are asked to pay a $5.00 visitor fee which covers the program, lunch, and refreshments.

The Club will also launch its 2018-2019 membership drive at this meeting. Members assist the Club with its mission of beautifying streets, highways and grounds around public buildings in Shelton. Residents are encouraged to join at any level of gardening – from beginner to master gardener — to learn about all facets of horticulture and preservation of the environment.

Annual dues for those who want to join will be $35.00.  The Olde Ripton Garden Club is a non-profit organization. For more information visit www.olderiptongardenclub.org or Like Us on Facebook at:  facebook.com/SheltonORGC.
