On Tuesday, April 6, we welcome Spring with a meeting on organic gardening! Our speaker is Mitch Baker from American Plant, an independent family-owned garden center with locations in Bethesda and Great Falls. American Plant has a commitment to promote EarthWise gardening, which means adopting good gardening practices so that plants can flourish naturally without relying on chemical pesticides.
Mitch will speak about organic gardening as it pertains to suburban ornamental and vegetable gardening. He will cover organic soil amendments, fertilizers, pest control, composting, container gardening and vegetable gardening, and will welcome questions as he speaks. Mitch will also bring a few products to show as alternatives to the typical chemical mainstream offerings.
Mitch Baker is a Horticultural Specialist with American Plant. A Maryland Certified Professional Horticulturist with 34 years in the garden center industry, Mitch is also a Board Member of the Rachel Carson Council.
Our “Organic Gardening” meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 6, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Cleveland Park Public Library, 3310 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20008. There is street parking in Cleveland Park, and the library is also metro accessible through the Cleveland Park Metro/Red Line.
