A Walk in the Garden with Extension Master Gardener Volunteers

Eight public gardens will be open September 15, 1-4 p.m., with a Master Gardener on hand to talk  about that garden, and answer questions about how you can use this information in your own garden. Your gardening interests may be in design, maintenance, or plants; this free educational opportunity is for you! The following gardens will be open and staffed with a Extension Master Gardener Volunteer who is familiar with that garden:

The Edenton Arboretum, on the corner of Granville Street and Virginia Road, is on the property of the County Extension Service. You will be lead through our lovely forested resource by Area Horticulture agent, Kellie Binnicker. The Boys & Girls Club will share their teaching garden located on the B&G Club property on Oakum Street in Edenton. Tom Abbott, Extension Master Gardener Volunteer, is the mentor for young gardeners and can talk about vegetable gardening with youngsters. The Chowan County Senior Center, 204 East Church, is an example of community gardening. Mentored by EMGV Cheryl Messinger, the seniors are excited about showing off their successful summer garden. The Newbold-White House, located at 151 Newbold White Road in Hertford, has a working vineyard. What is involved in maintaining grape vines? EMGV Marjorie Rayburn is the expert who will show you how to nurture and prune to sustain the vines. Saint Ann Catholic Church, 207 N Broad, has beautiful examples of meditation gardens. In addition to the lovely one in front yard, and the Memorial Garden in the rear of the church, the Mary Garden is beside the Church on Albemarle Street. Learn about meditation gardening from EMGV Deanna Klingel. A good example of a beautification project can be found at the American Legion Fairgrounds, 1317 W Queen. The Women’s Auxiliary Post 40 has created a garden for environmental beauty and Vicky Dowd-Martin would like to share it with you and show you how to begin to design yours. Marilyn Rutland and her team of gardeners will guide you through the gardens of the Hayes Plantation, an example of restoration gardening. Located at 1038 Hayes Farm Road, the gardens have undergone extensive restoration in recent months. At the Cupola House, Marie Perry, EMGV, will be on hand to discuss historical gardening and heritage plants in those gardens at 408 S Broad, in downtown Edenton.

Extension Master Gardener Volunteers are fully aware that September isn’t the peak season of glory for most of our gardens, having just survived our hot, humid summers, flash floods and weeks of drought, and it’s still too early for cooler nights to bring on that fall flush of flowers. This garden tour isn’t about the celebration and beauty of our gardens; it’s about learning what goes into getting that seasonal glory. It’s what goes on between show times. This is an opportunity for gardeners at any level to see and hear about the nitty-gritty-down-and-dirty part of gardening that creates the breathtaking beauty we all love. The design, the planning, the digging, figuring out the water: too much, too little; it’s about saving seeds and pulling weeds. It’s the backstage — the behind the scenes — of the successful gardens of this area.
