Hudson Area Library presents a new event in this year's Library of Local 2021 initiative, "Sow, Grow, Reap, Repeat! Gardening & Foraging for Resilience." Learn all about the ecology and use of chestnut trees while enjoying a toasty treat of chestnuts roasted on an open fire at Oakdale Beach. Arthur’s Point Farm Director, Emerson Martin, will give a presentation on the importance of chestnuts as a food source for both humans and wildlife, the successful growth of chestnut trees as a crop, and specific growing patterns for this amazing species. Bare root chestnut trees will also be available for sale. Questions and discussion will follow the presentation. Space is limited, so please contact the library at 518-828-1792 x101 or programs@hudsonarealibrary.org to reserve your spot.
