Leigh Rovegno, General Manager of the Audubon Community Nature Center, will present the penultimate class in her virtual series “Starting a successful home garden” on Tuesday, May 25th.
During this gardening season, there are two options left to participate in the virtual series by the Executive Director of the Audubon Community Nature Center, Leigh Rovegno. “Start a successful home garden.”
The presentation on Tuesday, May 25th, from 7pm to 8pm, will focus on gardening tips and tricks.
The courses are aimed at beginners and advanced learners, including children ages 9 and up, who are interested in maintaining their green fingers. Each class has different topics and you are welcome to attend even if this is your first time.
Before Rovegno came to Audubon, he worked on various organic farms in New Hampshire, Italy and Colorado. She shares her tips and tricks on what supplies are available, what favorite types of seeds they have and how to get the most out of the available garden space.
With a limit of 15 participants, the sessions provide an opportunity to learn gardening from a professional. At the end of the course, participants will be able to ask questions, interact and receive detailed notes to ensure the success of a garden.
