The situation reached a pitch in the last two years when a young couple bought the property directly across the street from the dog person and began imploring the Town to do something. The Town s solution at this point is to attempt to enact regulations which will affect ALL Gardiner dogs and their owners just to remedy this one glaring situation. Perhaps another solution can created which will not affect ALL Gardiner dogs and their owners across due to one person s actions. Each workshop will cover the history of heirloom vegetables, choosing varieties, seed starting media, germination requirements, planting and transplanting techniques, and saving seeds. Please wear work clothes.
Heirloom vegetables are old-fashioned varieties passed down from generation to generation.
They usually have superior taste, character and disease resistance compared to conventional hybrids. Their seed can be saved and will breed true from one generation to the next. Four Winds Farm is a 24-acre diversified Organic family farm in Gardiner, operated by Jay and Polly Armour since 1988. Certified Organic since 1989, they raise a variety of heirloom vegetables, which are distributed through the farm's Community Supported Agriculture project. In addition to heirloom vegetables and seedlings, Four Winds Farm also raises a variety of livestock using sustainable, humane methods, including pastured poultry and pork, grass-fed lamb and beef, and eggs from pastured hens.
