Joel Karsten, Author of Straw Bale Gardens, to present at the Maple Grove Area Garden Tour

Visitors to the Maple Grove Garden Tour this coming Sunday will have the chance to meet Joel Karsten Author of Straw Bale Gardens. Straw Bale Gardens became a New York Times  Best Selling book this year after people discovered this simple, yet revolutionary way to grow a bountiful garden without using herbicides, insecticides, or fungicides, and without weeding.

If you thought the only place to grow healthy crops was in black dirt, you will be amazed by the versatility and flexibility offered by Straw Bale Gardening.  Any backyard, concrete patio, rooftop or driveway, can become a a productive garden space.

Joel shares how to plant a wide variety of vegetables, root crops, or beautiful flower gardens, directly into your “conditioned” straw bales.  You will never do the “heavy lifting” or bending required with normal soil-based gardens again.  Learn this revolutionary and easy gardening method from the original pioneer of Straw Bale Gardening, and learn to garden, without ever lifting a shovel or breaking a sweat.

Joel will be the featured speaker at Lynde Greenhouse & Nursery (9293 Pineview Lane North, Maple Grove) as part of the Maple Grove Days Garden Tour this Sunday, July 14th from 1pm to 5pm.  Joel will present on Straw Bale Gardening at the top and bottom of every hour during the tour.  The tour and Joel's presentation are free and open to the public.
