May 18-22—WOODSTOCK—It’s time to garden. Visit Billings Farm at Home May 18 – 22, for information and tips to grow delicious, fresh produce in your own backyard or community garden.
See what they’re growing in their heirloom and education gardens. Learn the history of Victory Gardens and find out why home gardens are so important, then and now. Find information on manure and compost and how to use them in your garden.
Get inspired by “Learning in the Kitchen,” as we highlight a different vegetable each day – radish, rhubarb, parsnips and more – with a scrumptious recipe to make at harvest time. Follow along with our educators as they demonstrate recipes for arugula pesto and asparagus soup.
Join in live from the Billings Farm gardens on Wednesday, May 20, at 1 p.m., as they host the Facebook Live series, Ask Billings Farm Live. Museum educators will share gardening practices and answer your questions. What heirloom vegetables do they grow and why? And who doesn’t love sunflowers? Ben Pauly, Master Gardener for the Woodstock Inn & Resort, will provide a sneak peek of this year’s design for the Sunflower House— it even incorporates social distancing best practices!
