Bird Friendly Vegetable Garden

Novice and seasoned gardeners alike are welcomed to help us start seeds, plant, maintain, and enjoy the season-long abundance of the Garden.  Gardeners tend more than 25 beds together at Bedford Audubon’s Bylane Farm in Katonah, where we raise a wide variety of produce for take home by Garden members and for the food bank at the Northern Westchester Community Center.  The season starts in March with indoor seed sowing, by April we’re in the Garden, and we’re harvesting greens and herbs in May!

Membership includes 20 hands-on workshops led by Master Gardener Cathy Clare on garden design, composting, companion planting, and pesticide-free methods of cultivation that are good for people and the environment.  Two sessions are available: Mondays 9:30-11:30am and Saturdays 10am-12pm, starting the week of April 2nd.
