Upcoming 2018 Programs
Register NOW *May 3, 2018 (5:30pm – 7:30pm) Native Spring Ephemerals
with Przemyslaw Walczak, Chanticleer Horticulturist $35 pp
Spring ephemerals are an important part of the forests in Delaware County. These unique wildflowers have a short aboveground presence: they bloom, set seed, and die back before the trees overhead block the sunlight with their leaves. This class will convey the important role that spring ephemerals play in a healthy ecosystem, while highlighting their beauty. While walking through Chanticleer, participants will also learn about how to grow spring ephemerals.

Hi there, Great tips by the way and thank you.
I did have a question though. I’m hoping you can answer it for me since you seem to
be pretty knowledgeable about gardening. What kind of soil should I put in my raised garden beds?
If you had some insight I would greatly appreciate it.
Compost, organic matter – not top soil
