The February meeting was a presentation on Organic Gardening by Guy and Janelle Beardsley of Eco-Gardens in the White Hills of Shelton.

This program covered the hows and whys of organic gardening including soil amendments, equipment, and the sequence of planting and harvesting.   Guy discussed the basic organic philosophy, the importance of an honest and nutritious food supply and the threat to food quality posed by corporate agribusiness.

We also covered the invasive Common Reed (Phragmites australis).
