A Day in the Garden draws 50 gardeners Event at Tucker's Station Farms, Saturday, described as 'wildly successuful' By Barbara Armitage Fifty gardeners from all over the region gathered on Saturday September 13, 2008, to spend "A Day in the Garden" with organic gardener, filmmaker and author Chris Korrow.Chris a long time resident of Cumberland County, well known for his recent film "Garden Insects" currently featured nationally on PBS devoted the day to helping gardeners learn to co-exist with nature in our own gardens. The event sponsored by the Adair County Garden Club with the help of friends at First Realty, Tucker's Station Farms, Columbia Jaycee's and the Adair County Cooperative Extension Office was wildly successful. "If more gardener's had shown up I don't know where we would have put them" says Barbara Armitage. "Day in the Garden" included a benefit auction to help support the activities of the Adair County Garden Club. David Breeding, owner of First Realty and Auction, 411 Burkesville Street, Columbia, KY, volunteered his services as auctioneer for the day helping the Garden Club raise much needed funds to support future beautification projects and educational activities of the Garden Club. Time was spent in the garden so that gardener's could see first hand the benefits of working with and not against nature. "Now is the time to prepare for spring planting" says Chris. Using the techniques that he explains in his new book "The 30 Square Foot Garden" Chris prepared an area just 3 feet by 10 feet by layering compost, leaves and grass clippings without disturbing the soil underneath. The ground will retain moisture, attract more earth worms and soften naturally underneath the layering. In the spring just pull back a bit of the remaining grass clippings and plant. In Chris's book "The 30 Square Foot Garden" you will learn how and why gardening in a small space can make a big contribution to your dinner table. Surprisingly you can have a producing garden almost 12 months out of the year.
