SOMERVILLE GARDEN CLUB MEETING - April 13, 2011
Wednesday, April 13, 7:00-9:00 p.m. 167 Holland St., Somerville, Mass., second floor, wheelchair accessible.
The April meeting of the Somerville Garden Club will feature a presentation by Somerville gardener An Sokolovska, whose garden was a stop on the SGC 2010 Garden Tour. She will discuss the use of cisterns, French drains, gutters, and other methods to store and control water in the garden. Sokolovska credits her understanding of urban land and flood control to her time as a sociologist working with the US Corps of Engineers evaluating the impact of their large civil works in New England. As the owner of a small-scale design/construction business she was able to apply her knowledge to residential construction. Sokolovska believes gardens can solve problems of air pollution, security, flood control and more, while conferring beauty and peacefulness on a community--that is the value of "A Working Garden."
All Somerville Garden Club meetings are free and open to the public. Each meeting opens with announcements, followed by a roundtable discussion, a featured lecture or presentation, and concludes with a raffle of donated plants and garden items.
