September Meeting – Tools For Lifelong Gardening

We hope you will join
The Garden Club of Weaverville
for Our September 2022 Meeting 

Tuesday, September 13th at 9:30 on the covered porch at the new Weaverville Community Center 

Program: Tools For Lifelong Gardening

Are you sometimes feeling a little creaky? Are some garden chores getting harder?  Come join Alison Arnold and John Bowen for a discussion of garden tools that will help keep you gardening for life. Proper tool choices can help make tasks easier and safer, and there are innovative ways to modify your favorite tools to make them more ergonomic.  They will bring a selection of new and useful tools, and this will truly be a “hands-on” presentation.

Alison Arnold is a NC State Agricultural Extension Agent for Buncombe County. She is responsible for all consumer horticulture topics in Buncombe County including the Buncombe Master Gardener Volunteer program.

John Bowen is a lifelong gardener who is gardening a little slower these days. He’s a Buncombe County Master Gardener Volunteer, an ornamental and vegetable gardener, a plant propagator, and a Weaverville Garden Club member.

A business meeting will follow the interactive program. 

The Garden Club of Weaverville is a co-ed, non-profit organization open to everyone. For more information on what we do, becoming a member or supporting the club visit our website.
