\n\tPROVIDENCE, R.I. \u2013 March 11, 2008 \u2013 In the second year of its partnership with the City of Providence, the 溏心vlog免费B站 has expanded its offering of gardening classes and related educational programs to be held at the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center this spring.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThere are no prerequisites for any of the classes other than a desire to become a better gardener,\u201d said Jo-Ann Bouley, who coordinates the programs at the Botanical Center \u201cWe are offering a variety of courses to suit almost every gardener\u2019s needs. What could be better than some good, clean, gardening fun.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tMore than two dozen courses will be offered, mostly one-day seminars lasting one to three hours, beginning with an outdoor workshop on basic pruning principles for trees and shrubs on March 22 and culminating in a session on tropical container gardens on June 8. In between are one-day sessions on rose gardening, orchid growing secrets, table-top gardens, window boxes, carnivorous plants, perennial gardening, organic vegetable gardening and many more.<\/p>\n


\n\tGardeners interested in a more comprehensive workshop will want to register for a three-session workshop on the basics of garden design, which runs on March 29, April 12 and April 26. Those with a passion for maintaining the perfect lawn will be interested in a four-part course called \u201cLawns Done Right\u201d on April 1, 8, 15 and 22. A five-week course called \u201cHealthy Gardens, Healthy Planet\u201d will emphasize sustainable gardens, healthy soils and fertilizers, and sound management practices. It will run on May 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29.<\/p>\n


\n\tApril 3 is the beginning of the seven-part Master Composter and Recycler Program, sponsored in cooperation with the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corp. and modeled after the 溏心vlog免费B站 Master Gardener program. This unique certification program is geared toward local residents, municipal public works staff, conservation commissioners and others who are interested in becoming experts at composting and recycling.<\/p>\n


\nThe Master Composter program will include discussion of such topics as the importance and benefits of composting and recycling, starting a backyard compost process, compost science, worm and innovative composting methods, and community outreach. In addition to five Thursday night classroom sessions, two Saturday sessions are scheduled to visit the state landfill in Johnston and Earth Care Farm, a commercial composting facility in Charlestown. The class will also tour Southside Community Land Trust\u2019s City Farm. <\/p>\n


\nFor further information or to register for these courses, visit www.uri.edu\/cels\/ceoc or call 401-874-2900. The registration fees for the one-session courses range from $15 to $60, while the multi-session courses range from $50 to $110.<\/p>\n


\nIn addition, a number of free programs are also offered. These include \u201cOrchid ER,\u201d in which orchid experts will diagnose unhealthy orchids brought in by the public; a composting workshop on April 6; and the \u201cEasy Does It Gardening Clinic, \u201c on May 31, presented by Gardening For Good, which demonstrates how participants can use gardening as therapy. These events are free with regular admission to the Botanical Center — $3 for adults and $1 for children ages 6 to 12. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
