Jon Belber of Holly Hill Farm will visit the Adams Shore Library on Thursday, Nov. 5. He will give us tips on what and how to plant in the fall, and show us how to best prepare our raised beds for the cold winter months. This program is made possible by the generous sponsorship of the Friends of the Thomas Crane Public Library.
