The "Wednesday Evenings at Elm Bank" series kicks off May 4 when Master Gardener and noted gardening lecturer Betty Sanders talks about 'The Great New England Vegetable Garden". Betty will start with the basics - where to put a garden and how to prepare the area for planting - and then take her audience through the process of selecting what to plant and when. It's more than just a tutorial on vegetables; her talk is packed with common-sense tips on ways to garden smarter.

The fee for this program is $10 for members and $15 for non-members. Reservations are not required.
