'Get Your Veggies Growing' at the Ocean County Library Stafford Branch
STAFFORD TOWNSHIP – Your well-planted garden in springtime can provide months of bountiful harvest that can sustain you beyond growing season. Learn how to raise your best bumper crop. Join us for “Spring Has Sprung: Get Your Veggies Growing” at the Ocean County Library Stafford Branch, 10:30 AM Monday, May 12.
Aileen Krupa, a certified Rutgers Master Gardener of Ocean County, will detail the steps in creating a vegetable garden that can add to your table well into the fall, including tips for planting seeds, transplanting, choosing your veggies and maintaining the garden.
Rutgers Master Gardeners are trained, certified volunteers who help Rutgers Cooperative Extension staffers to provide research-based information on sustainable horticultural practices to Ocean County residents.
Aileen, a graduate of the 2024 Rutgers Master Gardener program, began exploring New Jersey’s fields, forests and unique habitats at an early age. Her love of the outdoors led to her career in natural sciences as a biologist, wildlife rehabilitator, zoo educator and park naturalist. Aileen is also an accomplished musician and entertains at festivals and parks throughout the Garden State.
While the program is in progress, the Branch’s regularly scheduled “Ask a Master Gardener” diagnostic clinic will be under way. Bring your plant and soil samples and questions any time between 10 AM and 12 PM for analysis and recommendations.
