Important Notice: The GIGC Board’s top priority is keeping all members safe. To this end, we will be seeking monthly guidance concerning Covid protocols from the New Castle Town Health Officer Kathy Hollister, MD. As you all know, this is an evolving situation given new variants and an uptick in cases in Rockingham County. This schedule may be modified during the year, but rest assured, general meetings and programs will continue, either in-person or via zoom.

October 5 9:00am – Tovah Martin – Maximizing Space in the Garden
Attention: As of now, this is scheduled as a hybrid meeting. Social time will be held in the Macomber Room from 9-9:30. The General Meeting will start at 9:30 and be held both live and via zoom. Tovah’s zoom presentation will begin after the General Meeting. Members who attend live will watch it on the large screen TV in the Macomber Room. Tovah is a horticulturist, author and lecturer. She’s accredited with NOFA as an Organic Land Care Profession, has published over 4 books and her articles have appeared in publications such as Country Home, Flower Magazine and Yankee. She appears frequently on television and radio – she was a guest on the CBS Sunday Early show, the Martha Stewart Show and the PBS television gardening series “Cultivating Life.” No matter if you’re gardening in a close-knit neighborhood or a sprawling estate, you want to garden efficiently, prolifically, sustainably, and beautifully. Using her own garden as an example, Tovah will describe how to create layers in varied habitats including the perennial, berry, and vegetable gardens. The result is visually fulfilling, low maintenance, and mulch-eliminating when plants go wall-to-wall. This lecture shares how that shakes down to serve our needs as well as the needs of pollinators and other creatures. You can expect to hear many innovative ideas beyond the usual solutions. |
