The Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons has a number of events planned in March as gardeners gear up for spring.
The HAH Roundtable on Saturday, March 2, will have Rick Bogusch, the manager of Bridge Gardens, on hand to talk about the benefits of incorporating plants native to Long Island and greater New York into East End gardens. A native plant list will be available as well as suggestions about where these plants are available for purchase. Pamela Harwood will moderate. The event, which is free and open to all, will take place at the John LoGerfo Library located in the Bridgehampton Community House at the School Street entrance.
Then on Sunday, March 10, at 2 p.m. in the Bridgehampton Community House main auditorium, Ed Bowen and Taylor Johnston of Issima will deliver the HAH monthly lecture. The topic is “Reconsidering the Cutting Garden.” This event is free for members and $10 for nonmembers. Refreshments will follow the lecture.
