Bedford Garden Club - Massachusetts

Bedford Garden Club - Massachusetts The Club’s major effort for the town is the civic plantings that we maintain throughout the seasons. Non-Bedford residents may also apply with Board approval.

The Club was founded on September 25, 1956; Federated: Spring 2001Garden Club Federation of MassachusettsMiddlesex District The Club prepares and maintains gardens at 15 traffic islands, corners, and public buildings throughout heavily traveled areas of Bedford, including the Lillian Dutton Memorial Herb Garden at the Job Lane Farm Museum, whose work is part of the historical preservation plan for

one of the town’s oldest houses. At each site, members plant perennials and annuals and they mulch, water, and w**d, creating four-season interest at many locations. These gardens and plantings have been designed, tended, and beautified by Club members for many years and benefit the entire Bedford community. We offer annual scholarships via the Bedford CSF Dollars for Scholars program. During many of the past years we have purchased planters for the Bedford Free Public Library and Old Town Hall, benches at the Library and on South Road, and the fence at the Job Lane Farm Museum. Any adult Bedford resident interested in the purpose of this Club and willing to work and support its projects is eligible for membership. To apply, complete and return an application form to the membership chair. Membership applications and scholarship applications are available on our website: http://www.bedfordgardenclub.org.

Every spring, I watch folks buy a lovely little blueberry bush, bring it home, and proudly stick it in the ground near their vegetable bed. Fast forward two months, and the leaves are pale, the stems are sad, and the plant is quietly giving up the ghost. I know, because I killed my fair share of them twenty years ago. When a new blueberry bush starts failing, our first instinct is to panic and dump expensive fertilizer on it. But throwing fertilizer at a fading blueberry plant is like handing a sandwich to someone with their mouth taped shut. The bush isn't lacking food. It’s physically incapable of eating it. Regular garden soil acts like an invisible lock on a blueberry bush's root system. It completely blocks them from absorbing the two exact trace minerals they desperately need to survive. They literally starve to death in the ground while surrounded by perfectly good nutrients. You don't need a green thumb or expensive kit to fix this. You just need to unlock the roots. There is one inexpensive powdered garden staple that changes the chemistry of your soil and opens the floodgates for those roots to feed. If you bought a blueberry bush this year (or are planning to), don't put a shovel in the ground until you read up on this. It is quite literally the difference between a dead twig in August and a lifetime of summer harvests.
