Green Tuesdays: Films & Lectures on Sustainability

FREE - MONONA PUBLIC LIBRARY - 6:30 P.M. TO 8:00 P.M.
Next Tuesday, May 11: Berries & Fruits for Any Backyard

Dale and Cindy Secher of Carandale Farm will share their expertise on berries' and fruits' space requirements, growing conditions, culinary uses, and wildlife benefits. Find out which plants can take over, what to do if you have shade from trees, how to deal with insects, and which berries and fruits are best for your conditions. This will be a major Q&A session, so bring all your "Qs" for these fruit experts.

Just eight miles south of Madison, Carandale Farm is the longest established pick-your-own farm in Dane County. They offer pick-your-own and already picked strawberries (the owners' passion), plus fall raspberries and Concord grapes. They also sell an increasingly diverse selection of little known and unusual fruits that have been researched and tested at the farm. Carandale Farm grows their produce in an environmentally conscientious manner and has used Integrated Pest Management for over 30 years.
