Upcoming Events
Please join Tim Walsh for an informative and interesting presentation titled:
Planning Before You Plant: Soil Preparation, Plant Selection, and Setting a Tone for the Season
presented by Tim Walsh
Where: South Freeport Church Community Hall
When: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Tim Walsh is a Design Consultant for Estabrook's Garden Center in Yarmouth, providing on-site consultations and landscape designs for clients in southern Maine, and will be working this year at their new "Color Spot" retail outlet on Route 1 in Scarborough. He also operates his own landscaping business, Adequate Garden, which specializes in small-scale hardscapes and sustainable planting schemes. One of his projects in 2007 – a fieldstone wall among apple trees in Brunswick – earned first prize in the annual Blue Rock Stone Center "Get It Set It!" competition.
Still relatively new to Maine (arriving in 2004 by way of Illinois, where he grew up; Budapest, Hungary, where he lived in the 1990s; and Washington, DC), Tim is a long-time gardener with a special passion for native plantings, naturalized hardscapes, organic methods, and community gardening. He has served as a Master Gardener Volunteer for the Cumberland County Cooperative Extension since 2007, teaching good composting practice to anyone who wants to listen.
Tim holds a Master's degree in American Studies and is currently working towards Associate's degrees in Horticulture and Architectural Design at Southern Maine Community College, where he also teaches English Composition and U.S. History in the "off-season."
This presentation is sponsored by the South Freeport Neighborhood Association. The presentation is free to members. Non-members are requested to donate $5.00 to the South Freeport Neighborhood Association.
