New Hampton Garden Club and Pasquaney Garden Club invite the community to enjoy a presentation by noted herbalist/farmer/educator Betsey-Ann “Betz” Golon. Golon currently manages the Community gardens and acts as educator for Joppa Hill Educational Farm in Bedford. She teaches canning and preserving for UME extension and enjoys days in the garden.
Previously, Golon lived in Naples, Maine and owned Common Folk Farm, known for its variety of farm products and herbs. She has been an organic farmer for over 40 years and lectures around the country, at places like George Washington’s Mount Vernon, on the history of mankind and herbs.
Golon’s program, A Maine Yankee in Washington’s Garden is a personal journey from herbalist to a Shaker community in Maine to the first President’s home in Mount Vernon, Virginia. She will also bring farm products for sale at the program.
This event will be held on Tuesday, April 16, from 6:30-7:30 p.m., at the Minot-Sleeper Library, 35 Pleasant St., Bristol.
