We will be departing from Camden Grange promptly at 7 p.m. this Tuesday (13 June, 2017) for a tour of the gardens owned/operated/weeded by Mary and Brian Spackman. Their home sits just above downtown Elk, and the address is 9915 E Bridges Road.
Brian has offered free red raspberry starts (he has hundreds to give away), and has added starts of hot horseradish, for those with a shovel and a bucket.
Please bring clothing for cool weather, and you will want some mosquito spray of some type – the garden is right on the river.
The gardens and orchards are on three levels, and some of us may not want to hike up the ramps to the upper levels, although the roll down the ramps could be fun (NOT!). Brian's home-built greenhouse and the main garden are on the lowest level, and can be accessed by most folks.
Brian has a LOT of re-purposed garden, orchard, and greenhouse equipment and building materials, and he said he will be glad to talk to everyone about what he has accomplished over 30-some years, and what has worked and what has been... challenging.
see you there,
jim
